Not everyone may have Greek connections, but it takes a member to write an official rec for a pnm. At a non-competitive campus, I am guessing a rec, of any sort, is not necessary. So a general recommendation is not that helpful. It has been stated elsewhere on GC that in those situations, the chapter advisor or some other alum member takes care of the requisite paper work to offer a girl a bid.

In the case of competitive recruitments, a nonmember recommendation is almost the same as getting a negative rec. This would, in my opinion, stigmatize the pnm. "Oh that's the girl who had her employer write her a letter of recommendation! titter, titter"

I think the suggestion made by the school "to send the rec to the Greek Life office" was probably made as a helpful comment. In other words, send us the rec, and we will make sure it gets to the right house. But I may be reading too much into it. And, I STILL don't think it should be done. There are too many opportunities for misuse of the information.
