Recs aren't [are!] necessary

[PeppyGPhiB]

Sorority recruitment is just like college admissions. The formal math requirement at my university (and most others) when I applied for admission was three years - but there's no way I would've gotten in if I had only taken three years of hs math. It's a competitive process, and the kids I was competing against for admissions had more impressive records than that. So of course I needed to do more than what was just "required," knowing that the admission standards had basically become moot.
