Some time ago there was a thread about "being groomed to join a sorority from birth." The girls I get thank you notes from frequently fall into that category. They are the same girls that have been through Cotillion, etiquette classes, etc. It's not that the thank you note helps them get into a sorority, but I think that they (and their mothers) just seem to know the best way to collect recs and how to have a successful recruitment.
For girls who are new to Greek life, the idea of sending a thank you note might never cross their mind since many of them don't know what's involved. I am usually willing to cut those girls a little slack.
However, there is one girl for whom I wrote a rec and she actually pledged my sorority. I have known this girl since she was four and I was so excited for her. I actually contacted her after she pledged but I have never gotten a thanks or any kind of acknowledgment. Although her mother was not in a sorority, I did feel like she should have know better. So, yes, sometimes it bothers me.
