Catching up on posts in this thred, I was struck by this statement in the NPC resolution:

"Resolved, That remuneration from the potential new member or her family for any such letter is inappropriate. "

To anyone's knowledge does this happen with any noticeable frequency? I can't imagine someone paying for a rec, but then again I try not to let anything surprise me when it comes to Greek life at some schools / in some areas.

oh yes! Somewhere around here there is a thread about a website that will secure your rec for you, at a cost of $20! The site will get you a rec to any organization, but the shadiest part of it is that there is no oversite to ensure that the women who are purporting to be alumnae of said organizations actually are. (alumnae can also register with the site to be the rec writers.)

Even sadder? The owner of the site is a sorority alumna.
