Well I don't thinks it's sinister, but rather a misguided attempt to equalize the playing field.

or give politically correct answers!

i was on another site, which shall remain nameless, and a pnm was asking whether it was necessary to have recs. two posters answered her question with the standard,"it is the responsibility of the sorority to get a rec, for those girls who don't have them and they will have ample opportunity to get them during rush week. This was concerning Auburn and i couldn't help but think that the answerers were either panhellenic officers or recruitment guides spouting the party line.

I posted an answer that the pnm needed to get her own recs.to all the chapters asap.

A PNM was asking me about recs for UGA yesterday; she had heard conflicting things about whether she needed them or whether the chapters would get them for her. Here's what I told her, and what I think every PNM should be told for an SEC school or similarly competitive recruitment.

Yes. You need recs. And yes. It is the responsibility of the chapter to get them for you. Both are true.
But the fact is that the chapters just do not have the time to get recs for every girl going through recruitment, so getting them in advance ensures that you have them. You can't count on the chapters to get recs for you if there are 1200 girls going through and you are one of a small group of girls who didn't get them ahead of time. It's possible that a chapter would go out of their way to get a rec for you, but you just can't bank on it.
