Depends on what your CPC goals are - if the goals are to be inclusive and everybody gets A bid and the pledge classes get larger/closer to Bama's size - then no you do not need a rec for every chapter either because not every chapter requires them or - unbeknownst to the PNM an alum might prepare one for you. (Although we cant tell you which is which because of MS rules.)

If the goal is for the informed PNM to have the mist options possible - then it is her responsibility to find letter writers.

This probably came about because somewhere Out there hundreds of PNMs are making Greek life staff and APH nuts trying to get recs instead of focusing on women they know for references. To this I would ask a PNM - if you don't know anyone at all in a group enough to sign a form saying your resume is factual, wouldn't you be better off and have more fun in a group that you already know someone?

Because of the internet, grade inflation, etc - if 1400 women are all adorable with 4.0 GPAs , work in soup kitchens, are cheerleaders beauty queens and athletes - how do you tell them apart? Without being just random ir arbitrary?
