Just wanted to add a comment about recs. I think a lot depends upon where you are going to college. From what I understand there can be a big difference between large greek schools in different areas of the country and how they percieve a PNM with a rec. I understand that at many southern schools it is pretty much a requirement (thought the schools greek advisors will deny this up and down and tell you that you don't need recs when you really, really do) But - if you have a rec at a lot of the major greek northern schools it means nothing, next to nothing or worse - the sisters can get a bit pissed off thinking some alum from some other school is trying to tell them what to do and they don't like it. Bottom line, try to find out about your particular school. I don't know about many schools but can give this info (and please other posters, correct me if I am even slightly wrong): You MUST have a rec to get into a mid level to top house at: UGA, Bama, Ole Miss, UFA and Texas. It's a BIG help at U of SC, Clemson, Illinois and Vandy. Makes no difference at Penn State, Purdue, Kentucky, Duke. Could annoy the sisters at U of MD, Villanova, Lafayette, Syracuse. (and I am only getting this by hearing what some sisters in some chapters at these schools say - by no means all sisters in all chapters)
