Barbara - actually a lot of smaller schools use guestbooks. My campus didn't use recs at all and girls could register right at Meet the Greeks, so we never knew who was coming through the door. Plus, it also shows how many women are coming back to the parties from day to day (i.e. your retention rate), and who actually comes back when they accept your invitation (i.e. no shows).
Reason for being cut - sometimes it is just intangible - like why do you like chicken better than fish. There's no "easy" answer. I do think though, that as far as grades go, girls should know if they were in the bottom tier of girls rushing, like if everyone else had over a 3.0 and they had a 2.5. At big competitive rushes, 2 girls can be on the same footing but the GPA will put you over.
Legacies - well, it's a little like if a friend sets you up on a blind date. You will give the person a second look that you might not have cause you care about your friend and want them to be happy. Since I haven't had a lot of experience with legacies in general, that's all I'll say on that topic.
