In case anyone thinks I'm hallucinating:

From the Penn State Panhel website: We do not use recommendations, pictures, or resumes for Penn state Recruitment. Please refer to the sorority's national website in regards to a particular sorority accepting these.

I know a number of great girls slipped through the cracks of recruitment at PSU because we so often got into arguments about who was who ("the one sitting by the patio door?" "no, no, no - she was sitting by the piano!")
On the other hand, I like how it doesn't discriminate against those not groomed from birth for rush. The 1st generation collegian who never even thought about sororities until she got to college still has an excellent chance of getting a bid from a great sorority -- it isn't all about who your "people" are. She can find out about Greek Life, and give it a chance without worrying that she's starting rush with an insurmountable handicap - no professional photo or reccs from all of Mama's friends.
On a practical note: the advice quoted often here -- that you may want to consider wearing an interesting bracelet/watch, earrings or necklace --- is particularly salient with a rush without pictures. Nothing freaky - just something to help people remember you (in a good way).
