Why are recs absolutely necessary at some schools, while not expected at others?

I think recs should be reserved for alumnae who personally know the girls involved. I see this resulting in a "bonus" instead of the lack thereof being a punishment.

I think we get that you don't like this process. What are you doing about it? Are you in talks with your national Council or VP Recruitment/Membership, lobbying to have it changed within your group? Talking with your local campus reps about it? Are you being a vehicle for change? Or are you going to just keep telling us - who have no control over this - that you don't like it?
