Daughter had unhappy High School experience, should she not mention this during Rush?

I'll reiterate what everyone else has says: The Greek Life office HAS to tell you that recs aren't necessary.
If you want to give your daughter a little more of an edge, especially because she is shy, you may want to reconsider and get more recs.

Now slight thread derail: If all the Panhellenics and Greek Life offices say "Recs aren't necessary", and then girls are released from recruitment from houses they don't have recs to - how many irate phone calls do those offices receive from angry moms?

There's no way to know WHY they were released. And if the number of students w/o recs ever actually hit a majority, then the chapters would end up adjusting their invite lists accordingly.
