Whew - all I have to say is, I'm glad I went to a school where recs basically didn't exist! Call me lazy, but it seems like too much work. I didn't even buy new clothes for rush.
I guess I can see why they're a big deal at larger schools, but still, it seems unfair to those from "non-Greek" backgrounds. It gives some girls not only the advantage of being a legacy somewhere and knowing other Greeks, but also of knowing what they have to do. I hope the schools where recs are truly necessary let PNMs know this well before rush so the girls don't find out the hard way. If I was told, "Oh, you don't need recs," and then found myself cut everywhere, I wouldn't be a happy camper - especially if rushing sophomore year had limited chances of success. I could easily see how that could make you a little bitter.
