Listen up PNMs recs are NOT that important. At all. If a sorority wants you they will find it for you especially old roa. And the bottom sororities are just happy to get members so you don't need them there. stop stressing over it

Do tell which sororities don't view recs as important and where it won't matter if one is received or not. I am a pnm and I am afraid I won't get them.

You have some time left (July 15th is more of a guideline...). Just get as many as you can. I had to email people I didn't even know to get all of mine. I wish I could tell you which ones they're a must at and which ones they aren't, but that's confidential pnm selection information I don't even know bc they vary from sorority to sorority. If you can't get them all, just be open to who invites you back. Some girls will get dropped for not having recs, but if the sorority loves you enough, they'll find someone to write you a rec during the week. My friend was a junior transfer from out west with no recs and a 2.9, but she still got into a decent sorority bc she's charming.

I am currently an active. I had 4 recs going into recruitment. I got my 1st choice old row house. I guess they found one for me.

You can go with a bunch of anonymous people if you want to, on a site known for being trolled by haters and posers who think it's fun to mess with people. OR you can go to UA's Panhellenic website where there's wayyyyy too much info about recs to say they don't matter. If a Panhellenic site gives something it's own section full of info, don't think someone took the time for no reason. Everything on that site points to getting recs yourself, so play it safe and cover your bases. A lot of the girls you'll be rushing with have.

If someone says they had no recs but got a house that requires them, one of two things probably happened. She's either just so fabulous that they decided she was worth the time to find a rec for, or she already had a rec sent in and didn't know it. A lot of PNMs register with alumnae groups, but don't hear anything back and assume nobody did a rec. As it turns out, someone did and the PNM didn't know it. As for sororities finding recs for girls who don't have them, they will if they want to. But in a recruitment full of amazing, top quality girls who DO have recs, they'll need to be in love with Miss No Rec. If a PNM thinks she can be the super special one who shines above tons of girls with credentials as good or better than hers, she can go for it. I wouldn't try it because these huge recruitments are so competitive and unpredictable. Best not to assume anything until you have a bid in your hand. Just get the recs.

New members who think they didn't get a rec for the sorority they pledged probably had one but didn't know it. I don't necessarily tell the girls I wrote recs for that I did them.
