Thank you sarahsmilehawk. That's helpful info, IMHO: GreekChatters, note this, please: that's about 2/3 with recs at KU (U. of Kansas), a school that people on GC often say is competitive, but not ultra-competitive like the SEC schools.

Sure, each chapter will have slightly different figures on the number having recs to that chapter, but it's likely that all/ almost all chapters are going to be in the same general ballpark.

So . . . when next year rolls around, will it be fair to say, if anyone asks about KU, that around 2 out of 3 potential new members enter recruitment with recs, and it would be a good idea for any PNM to get recs if she can? (Might as well fit in with the substantial majority if possible.)
