Recommendations vs. Recs?

It's true of some but I don't know if it's true of most. I wouldn't know how it works at non-competitive schools, but although theoretically a sorority could seek out a rec for a girl who everyone loves and wants, chances are it won't happen. There are way too many other perfect girls to choose from who already have recs.

At schools such as Auburn it is also good to have a personal written letter emphasizing your strengths from a alumna of that chapter. The general letter works best at a school but in the competative recruitment at Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss a person letter from an alumna helps. Even in the general Phi Mu form it ask the relationship between you so any recs should come from someone you know well.

So you're a Phi Mu?

I love it, especially since she left all that behind when she left college!
