Recs aren't [are!] necessary

The university said that "Letters of Recommendation are encouraged, but not required." I asked if they were necessary and my Gamma/Rho Chi's said they absolutely are. Over half of the girls in my group did not know we needed one, and one half of those girls had no idea what a rec letter is.

Can the university say that and still require them for a bid?

It's not your school that requires them, it's individual organizations, and it could be that all the organizations on your campus happen to require them.

Hopefully the Recruitment Counselors will be able to step in and let PNM's know they need recs.

recruitment counselors spout the party line, plus at schools where recommendations are a must, by the time you meet your r.c. it is too late to send in a rec.
