I agree that 3 or 4 recs is probably a sufficient number BUT if someone else offers, I wouldn't turn them away. Here's why: Sometimes women say they are going to write a rec, and they don't (forgot, wrote it too late, etc). As the pnm (or parent of one) you have no idea that happened. Rush rolls around and your recs are not there.
I have always felt that it is better to accept everyone's offer than to turn someone down.
Let me clarify that I am not talking about beating the bushes for gazillions of recs. I am talking about an instance where an alum offers to write your daughter a rec because she has learned that daughter is going through rush and would love to help. In my opinion, you don't turn these women down - especially in the South, and especially with an OOS pnm.
