If I'm remembering the scene in the show correctly, it showed a bunch of guys being escorted from house to house and the escort asked about their letters of recommendation, which many of the guys pulled out and waved.

That is not usual. At most campuses, recommendations aren't especially important for the men going through rush / recruitment. (On some very traditional campuses, especially in the South, recommendations for guys can be useful, though.)

In any case -- men or women -- the rushees or "potential new members" would not be holding copies of the recommendations. As KSUViolets said, recs are sent in by alums (some sororities and fraternities allow members currently in college to write recs, too). I think it's fair to say that most of the time a young man or woman will never see what someone wrote as a recommendation for him or her.

The TV show is a TV show; it's for entertainment, not necessarily a reflection of real fraternity and sorority life.
