There aren't really any threads specifically about the "how many is too many?" question, but if you read through the wealth of recommendation threads, you'll find what gee_ess is talking about.
As an SEC alum, I would say that 2 or 3 is good, but much more could be considered overkill. However, it always depends on the campus, the chapter, and even the relationship between the girl and rec-writers.
Overkill: A girl has 6 recs from random women who don't know her well, that could be considered overkill.
Not Overkill: A girl has 6 recs from Grandma, Mom, her two older sisters, and her two aunts, all of whom were ABC members. It's not like little Susie could say "No, Grandma, I don't want you to write me a rec." We had a girl go through recruitment once who had 15 or 16 DG family members and they ALL wrote recs for her, but we certainly didn't consider that overkill because they all loved her and wanted to share about their different takes on her... it's not like she could pick and choose and tell the others not to write them.
