Mizzou Recruitment with no Recs?

[gee_ess]

From my experience with rush at Mizzou, I have seen girls receive bids that I am quite sure were woefully unprepared in the rec department. (I was asked to write one for a young woman about a week before rush started, if that gives you any idea) HOWEVER, in my opinion, they are not pledging upper tier groups. There are several GLO's on campus (17?) so there seems to be a place for most.

There are 13, plus Tri Sigma is colonizing after formal recruitment.

Pretty much sums it up. Recs are basically going to help get you through the first/second round. So MU-Office-of-Greek-Life-technically speaking, they *aren't* necessary to receive bid, you'll just be cut really hard after the first round. But why not just get them and have options?
