Of course. I was just trying to think of the most un-SEC place as possible (other than the dive bar a block from my house).

I think that's exactly what they're trying to do. But unless the sororities are told that they must regard these letters exactly the same way they would a rec from an alumna, it's not going to work.
This is yet another ill-conceived attempt at eradicating barriers by pretending they're not there, and pretending what you wish is the actual situation. It's not kind or inclusive, it's an ostrich with its head in the sand.
