Recs for William and Mary?

[truebluekappa08]

I have a family friend who was accepted Early Decision to William and Mary for next year, and asked me about their greek life. Although I did attend a school in Virginia, I know next to nothing about William and Mary's policies. Their website states, "Frequently, the Inter-Sorority Council will get questions about reference letters or recommendations. While reference letters are certainly appreciated by the chapters when they receive this information, they are not necessary for participation NOR do the majority of women participating in recruitment have them."

Obviously, this means that she will in no way be hindered if she does not have recs. However, I was wondering if there were any current students on here who can tell me if it would seem unusual or overeager for her to have them? My school had a similar policy stated on their website, but we always thought it was strange when i girl came with 1 or 2 recs to every house...

Any input about this, or the general competitiveness of their recruitment would be great, thanks!
