Our new recruitment adviser is from Vandy and was just asking the recruitment chair and me how many recs they got last year - the recruitment chair said she had never seen one. They are not a thing in the Northeast unless your org requires everyone to have a rec to get a bid and then it's not well known that this is a requirement except by the people in charge of recruitment or HQ. That's what I'm taking away from this thread, anyway.

You are correct. Recs are not required on an international level by AOII. Our Southern chapters may have local chapter bylaws requiring a rec, though this may just be convention rather than an actual bylaw. My chapter in the South frequently had recs but never for everyone. The chapters I advised in MD and CA never got any recs and in AZ got very few.
