you don’t need recs

by:    

Recs are clearly not as big of a deal at ut as everyone made it sound. Talk to 4 different girls today that had 7, 8, and 9 house schedules without having any recs to them. Why make it sound like recs matter?

Talk to them later. Most houses cannot offer them a bid without a rec

By: Hmmm

Why would they have invited them back at all then?

They are waiting to see how much they like these girls. If they really, really, really want a pnm without a rec, they will procure one on her behalf if she makes it all the way to pref. This only happens for a handful of girls without recs IF they are highly desired. It's a real pain to get the recs so they don't do it but for a limited few. So what happens is, given a choice between a bunch of great girls, releases have to be made and the ones without recs are an easy cut decision.

Wait until 1st period cuts come through. That’s a big one.

They are just the cuts that happen after Philanthropy Day (1st period).

I thought the cuts last night were big

They are, but I know for my chapter the ones after philanthropy day are bigger. We cut legacies that will be happier other places, and girls who have recs but again aren’t a good fit. We feel like it’s nicer to let them go early than lead them on.

They will cut after philanthropy if they don’t have a Rec unless they LOVE someone. Then they may help get get rec. But there is no doubt all chapters require one.
