There might be something to this, though. Could Ole Miss be deemphasizing recs and requesting that PNMs only get one for each chapter?

there is no way that ole miss sororities would de-emphasize recommendations.
as adpiucf said, they just may not want half a dozen recommendation forms that give exactly the same information about one pnm. support letters can elaborate on the info. the rec. form would provide.

gam-ma, please check your pm.

I think recommendations are a good thing since at the very least they provide a detailed background on the rushee. When you have freshman fall recruitment (esp. those August ones) where the actives haven't encountered the freshmen in any school setting, would you rather the initial cuts be made based only on how the PNM performed at the 10 minute party?

I highly recommend two recs/sponsors/rifs, if possible at least one from an Ole Miss Alumna. You will not be penalized if you have more than two. My cousin had three recs that I know of, when she preffed and pledged Delta Gamma several years ago... She also preffed KD, I know she had multiple recs there. Though she decided to preff Chi O over Pi Phi, I know of three recs to Pi Phi.

The fact is many chapters at Ole Miss have their 2nd day party list completed before recruitment starts, GPA and recommendations play a large part.
