The elimination of pre recruitment activities would seem to make recs less important. I was able to secure several recs for my step daughter for last year's recruitment and the pre rush invites were VERY helpful to her. She was only a legacy at my house (which is not at IU) so no Greek connections other than some high school friends in houses. She was a rush crush of an active she met at one and that was house she pledged and that active became her big sister. Sure, she might have gotten a bid anyway, but we now know from this active that my step daughter was always on their top list because they bonded at this pre-recruitment party.
