Hi!! I'd have to agree with a lot of what the person above this said, but I have just a few other things. First, to answer your question, a letter of recommendation is more like a form that the alum fills out. There's not a whole lot of room to expand on specifics about who the PNM is as a person. The letter of support is a hand written (usually) letter from an alum that typically knows the PNM pretty well and is able to write a substantial letter about who the PNM is, their personality, their qualities and why they would be a good fit for the chapter. At Tech, rush is competitive, but not nearly as competitive as say Alabama or SMU for example. At those campuses, a letter of support would be much more imperative to have. Here, not really necessary but great to have. For recs, I would recommend at least one per chapter, and two for the chapters you know you are really really interested in. More than 2 is over doing it, in my opinion. 2 letters is 100% sufficient here at Tech. However, if someone offers you a letter of support or rec I would definitely not turn them away, but I wouldn't be actively looking after you have two. Lastly, for me, all of my letters of rec were done through email. I think this year the majority of women writing your letters will want it done this way. After asking, I would ask if they want hard copies or electronic then go from there. Hope this helps!
