Some advice:

Don't rely on recs or think they'll be your Golden Ticket next year.

We all know that OSU is not a "recs or die environment."

I say that to say that at times, people look at recs as the "maybe THAT'S the reason I didn't get a bid" factor instead of objectively looking at things they could improve on.

Get them if you would like (they can't hurt), but don't forget to ask yourself "What would be different about me THIS TIME that will make a chapter want to extend me a bid?"

I don't mean your appearance per se, but moreso your conversation skills and the degree to which you can hold a conversation, etc.

See also: KNOWING sorority members and having them as friends. No rec is better than an actual connection with a member.

A rec is not going to keep you on a chapter's invite list if you aren't that interesting conversation-wise or have no connections to sorority members.

So yes, get them. But work on other things as well.

Good luck!
