How much will this hurt her come rush time? Are rec letters a critical factor at TCU or will she be fine without them?
Let me know, thanks so much!

This probably isn’t what you wanted to hear, but it’s what’s posted on the whole page that TCU devotes to recommendations for 2009 recruitment:

“It is strongly recommended that you secure a recommendation for each sorority.”

Probably safe to say "strongly recommended" = your term, "critical." I hope that GCers knowledgeable about TCU can give you helpful and accurate advice / suggestions.

Yes.

At least they are now using the term "strongly recommended." Back in my day they said that recs weren't necessary, which of course could not have been further from the truth.
