I think recs were more prevalent at all schools when I went through rush. The chapter had a rush committee who would send out recs to an alumnae association near the rushee's residence. The associations had a rec committee who would contact schools and their friends to find out about the young lady. I had no idea that recs were needed until I was on the other side. The chapter would work on getting them, the girls didn't have to secure them. At that time, there weren't 1000's of girls going through rush, our pledge classes were less than 25. Today, my chapter does not require them. The alumnae chapter no longer has a recommendation committee. If a girl contacts us, we ask a member to meet her if no one in the area knows her personally. With the privacy rules, talking to the schools is no longer an option.
