It's a misnomer when somebody says "recommendations are not required."
What that USED to mean was that the PNM did not have to solicit her own recommendations. Her hometown alumnae would do that for her, without her even knowing it. OR the chapter would contact local alumnae and request a rec.
And it still works that was with many campuses.
But for most NPC groups, a rec or information form
from a member is
still required before the pref round or bidding.
Also, at many campuses with big numbers of PNMs signing up for recruitment, the chapter cannot possibly solicit recs for each girl from the hometown alums. Although the school's recruitment guide may still employ that "recs are not required" phrase, in reality, the PNM had better start finding alums to rec her.
