Non GLO recs- how much weight do they hold while colonizing

[OhThatGirl88]

Here's a question for all founding sisters:

I have potential rec's from two alumnae of XYZ. I have been tossing around the idea of having the supervisors of volunteer programs I have been in write rec's for me as I go into colony recruitment. My question is is it a wasted effort? Will these letters mean anything to the women from nationals that will be down here? Will it help my chances of getting a bid, or will it actually hurt me?
