Recs

In almost all sororities here, a recommendation is required before a bid can be offered. It is a national rule for these houses. So if a house really, really, really wants a girl without a rec, they have to get an alumna to write one. This involves the alumna reaching out to contacts on the PNM's resume/application and verifying the information and then writing a second-hand rec just to fulfill the requirement. This has to happen with only a day to get it done and is a lot of trouble to go through, so it is only done for a very, very few PNM's who a house wants badly enough. So almost all of the PNM's without recs will be released from these houses to focus on the many other great girls who do get their recs. So the answer is, yes, there are girls who get a bid without supplying a rec, but they are few and far between in the more desired houses and PNM's who don't have them are automatically limiting their choices. If you would reach out to local alumnae chapters they will help you get your recs.
