There are active alumnae chapters in Atlanta, Birmingham, Orlando, Jacksonville, Shreveport... and the list goes on. While a rec is required before a bid is extended, I don't think girls need to agonize over the process. There will be assistance, I'm sure.

I don't think they would shoot themselves in the foot by asking for recs if they knew they were going to be impossible to get. I'm sure they know what they're doing and there's a reason for it.

And just my speculation but...I'm guessing if it got around "OMG! Did you know Alpha Phi didn't ask for recs AT ALL?" it would reflect negatively on them, given the importance recs play for all the other chapters.
