Chapters want PNMs with stellar grades and activities. An overwhelming majority of PNMs possess such attributes. If they also have recs, that is one less chore the chapter has to complete.
ETA: I can understand coming from an area where recs are not very important and not knowing. However, with the amount of information available on the internet today, student orientations and campus visits, any PNM who is committed to becoming a sorority member should quickly get a sense of what needs to happen.

You're missing my point. How does one get recs when one knows NOBODY in a GLO? It seems that people who are "geographically challenged" in this manner now have the disadvantage of having to pester people on the internet who they've never even met! And doesn't having strangers write you a rec defeat the whole purpose for a rec?
It may be hard to believe for those of you who live in areas where it's a big deal.. but I literally knew no one in a GLO. Now that I'm back up in the northeast --I still literally know NOBODY who has ever been a part of a GLO outside of my alumnae chapter. It just isn't big here.
