There should be a disclaimer (yelled from the rooftops, if necessary) to all PNMs that nothing guarantees you a bid; not recs, grades, looks, personality, etc. Some special snowflakes have it all, and they're still left without a bid (or without an invitation to the "best" chapters).

I just don't know why people still think that in a system that spends so much time, money, and effort to put on recruitment, where PNMs dress to impress and have to polish their conversation skills, that a recommendation is a guaranteed "in". In what world are they living? I don't bring 3 good references into a job interview and think, "looks like I've got this one in the bag."

It's frustrating.
