But see...it wasn't meaningless when done properly! I was in college the same time as you, but at a large SEC school. Our nationals most definitely required recs, and we had a whole committee of girls, starting after the second round, whose job it was to collect recs for girls we were interested in but didn't have yet. The rushees provided pics and their resume to Panhellenic when they signed up, and PH gave that info to each chapter. So we'd take that info, and could usually find an alum in their town who either knew them or knew the family, or worst case...knew someone who knew the family. Anyway...it just helped to ensure you had the kind of girls you wanted wearing the letters.
We were told similar things but with a pre-acknowledgement form for those we know going through recruitment. Is maybe that what they meant? I find it strange that you are required to write them for anyone you know going through.Nope, we were told in recruitment prep that we need to write them for any PNMs we know.
It sounds like they're asking for recommendations forms for girls going through recruitment at YOUR school, not just every single high school girl you know. This basically gives your recruitment team a list of girls to look for and girls to stay away from while y'all are doing your lists and then eventually formulating your bid list.Not sure what details I can exactly say... but we were told we need to write one for everyone we know going through
Yes we were asked to for our school, but they also told us to go ahead and write them for any other people we knew going through anywhereIt sounds like they're asking for recommendations forms for girls going through recruitment at YOUR school, not just every single high school girl you know.

ETA: I was on the recruitment team last year and we didn't turn girls away that didn't have letters of recommendation. Come to think of it, I don't think any of the girls we took had them. For us they give us a brief background of the woman's accomplishments and past activities that she might not have put in her PNM profile when signing up. It helps us tell the girls what kind of things she'll be interested in talking about.
