I forgot to mention I was a legacy (sister from A&M) for a top house and pretty much knew where I was going/what houses I could see myself in (I know a lot of people in a lot of houses) so some of the ones I couldn't see myself in I did not bother to get anything for. Sorry if it was misleading to say that you don't need a RIF or letter of rec..I just remember talking to girls in one of the houses (mid tier) that I liked and saying that I was afraid I wasn't gonna come back since I didn't even submit a RIF and they told me that they don't consider just what you're like on paper, and that they care more about what impression you make in person. BUT also, I know that our house recommends three..it's not so much "wow they said great stuff about this person" it's more like "wow a lot of people think this person would make a great ___". and yes I stand by the more the better. how you rush means sooo much more than how many recs you have, but some houses will not consider you without them, and they DO care how many you get. It just depends on what houses you're considering. and I know the whole "keep an open mind" thing and trying for every house but don't stress out if you can't get a letter for a house! It's not the end of the world. It just helps a lot. but you can still get in a house without one
