I mean I can't imagine you'd want to be known as that alum who no-recs at the drop of a hat. Your credibility would be nil.

True, but I honestly can't think of anybody I know who writes "no" recs as a rule. It's rare...I've probably done 3 or 4 in about 30 years of writing them. Funny thing is...I've got 2 here now.
I have to say that our chapter learned the hard way not to disregard a "no." Twice we overrode such a rec...Basically we sweet-talked them into changing it. But neither girl helped our GPA or wound up initiating, and one caused some drama.
OTOH...I heard of another group where one particular PNM had sterling recs from half a dozen hometown alums. That girl never made her grades (which you had to, back in the day) and had quite the reputation around certain locker rooms.
