sorority girls obtaining recs for PNMs?

This possibly gets into member selection and back-office rules. My understanding is that some sororities require a recommendation for all members and they will do what it takes to cross all the t's to get the girls they want. But I can't imagine, as stated above, that a super-competitive chapter would spend much time on gathering recs for girls who should have known enough to get them on their own.

This is true, but it is not so much a punishment for uninformed PNMs as it is the sheer logistics of it. When there are 1200 PNMs coming thru the doors during the first round of parties and the PNM will get 15 or 20 minutes max to dazzle the sorority members, it is easier to eliminate the women that the sorority does not have any background information(Recommendations) on, along with the women whose grades fall below that sorority's requirements. Quick decisions have to be made based on the best information available.
