You're right. I attended a smaller school and I'm in a different part of the country. But that doesn't mean that all of my professors love Greek life and throw names at me every time I ask.
I know of students from all over the country who take this approach, at small schools, large schools, public and private. I've heard of people obtaining between 5 and 20 names from just one professor.
Also, I never said it was their "job" to find new members for our organizations. But wouldn't it make sense to ask a person, who works with students every day and knows their personalities and their capabilities, for suggestions about who we might want to recruit into our organizations that stand for high academic performance, generous philanthropic endeavors, and good values?
Besides... doing this hurts... who? You send out a letter, it's free, and at the very worst you don't get a response. Oh no, not that!
