To repeat, and I don't pretend to know what a rec means to sororities other than Alpha Delta Pi, a recommendation is entree to
recruitment parties, not a bid.
If you think of the days when the "in crowd" was let into a disco or a bar simply because they were famous or beautiful or the bouncer liked them - that's what a rec is. It gets you in the door, and it gets a PNM a second look. I have no problem with writing a rec for someone who acts & looks like an Alpha Delta Pi, IF I get a chance to talk to her, or am otherwise assured that this woman isn't going to end up on a "Girls Gone Wild" video.
But! It's an imperfect method. We have chapters where there are more legacies than there are Quota openings. Really, NPC has to come up with a better system soon. With the amount of truly brilliant women out there, perfecting the system, I hope the answer comes soon!
