Now that I've recovered from the "vay-puhs" brought on by learning of ADPiZXalum's little sister's rec situation, I was able to comprehend your most plausible explanation, AChiOSnap. How's that for some Ole Miss roots?

LOL! I think we all get a dose of culture shock every year on GC when we read about how different schools do recruitment...whether it's the traditional southern school where ladies spend $1000 on recruitment wardrobes and scramble to get 19 rec letters, or the the liberal, nontraditional Northern colleges where ladies go through with flip flops and ripped up Urban Outfitters pants and Paul Frank t-shirts.
I'll tell you that I'm sure my Northern roots showed when I once told a story here about how one of my sorority sisters was annoyed when she received a recommendation letter for a PNM... she said "Well isn't this a little presumptuous. I think I can pick my own sorority sisters!"
Being an experienced GCer, I quickly set her straight...but she had never SEEN a recommendation letter before! They're certainly not common at some Northern/Midwestern schools, that's for sure

That's for sure. We're all certain how we do things is how it's supposed to be done and are surprised when we find out things run just as smoothly done another way. Remember that story about the blind men describing an elephant? They all had valid, if incomplete, descriptions depending on what part of the elephant they were touching. That's kind of what the differences in recruitment procedures are like (and we won't even get into the fraternities' way of doing things!).

It seems like recruitment is a reflection of the school atmosphere. I advise a chapter where the girls (actives and rushees)are wearing designer jeans to the first two rounds. According to my D, no girls wear jeans ever for anything at her school and certainly not for formal recruitment.

I've never seen one....I've heard of them of course but I've never seen one...I'm not sure that anyone from my old school would have known what one was besides for myself and AEPhiSierra

About the legacy rec thing, her mom has been really out of the loop with her sorority for YEARS. I basically went to their national website, found a contact number, sent it to her, and said, WRITE HER A REC!!! I think it might be a case where recs are not SUPER important, but honestly I don't know.
* I just wanted to reiterate that she is not my REAL sister so ADPi is not her legacy house!!

Darn! Here and I thought I had Travis all figured out!
...that still means she's listed as a "tie" to you, doesn't it? with a rec?
Good luck Sandy!

Ahh ha, I never said ADPi was on this campus, I only said it wasn't her legacy house!! So her "tie" to me does not matter. Her mom has some friends that were in a sorority and she got one from one of them. "I'll never tell!!" 
Patience grasshopper, this ordeal will be over with in a few weeks!! Then you will know all!
ps.... how's Baylor, i miss it!

Same with my chapter. We always joke that the Reference Chair actually doesn't have a job. Sometimes we have to call nationals ourselves to verify legacies.
