In this era of our litigious society, this omission may prevent the recommender and/or her GLO from getting sued.

Recs are a private matter though, and I think even if a PNM was extremely agressive in trying to find out why she was cut, I doubt that a chapter would tell her that she was cut because of a no-rec. Unless that PNM got a court order for them to produce proof of why she was getting cut, but I don't see a judge wasting their time writing up that order.

Are Recs destroyed after bids go out? or are they filed? (or am I not allowed to ask that?)

For my chapter I believe we shred them along with the rush applications. (Not that we had many of them) We have all the data on a computer if we are interested in contacting someone who withdrew for COB or something, but we delete that shortly thereafter.

Most that I've seen say that they should be destroyed after recruitment. Of course, if you cut someone because of what you heard over the phone, it'll be very hard for a PNM to prove slander. (It's hard enough to get a lawyer to take a libel case when you have written proof.) Plus I doubt that a PNM could find out that she'd been cut because of something a sorority heard by phone...which sorority would admit that? I also feel that if one sorority heard some really bad stuff on a a PNM, then others did too.

Plus, no PNM or NM should EVER be told why they were cut/what discussion occured during the whole process.
That information is 100% confidential and is usually not supposed to be discussed outside of the room even with sisters who were there.
I'm sure parents have tried to sue sororities for dropping their "precious darlings" before, but what are they going to prove?
The few times that stuff has come out, such as the alleged racism in one chapter, it tears the chapters apart.

I think everyone destroys recruitment docs after recruitment, don't they?
