I've seen a lot of you ask about rec letters and importance. Let me break it down: at a school like OSU, most girls don't have any recs unless they are legacies then they will have one to their legacy house. And most will still end up having a successful rush. They can normally only help though if you know it will be a positive rec. the only time we really look at them though is if you are on the fence of getting cut or not. If you made a really good impression, you will move on regardless of if there is a rec or not. If you made a bad impression, you will get cut whether you have a red or not. If you made a somewhat positive impression, but not so much that we know for sure we want to see you again but we have more spots available for the next round, here is when your rec could help you move on. Also keep in mind that top chapters get more girls with recs going through than middle and bottom chapters, so don't get mad at whoever wrote your rec if you don't get called back. all in all, Recs only help with the first round of cuts, they help you get a second chance sometimes. After that though, it's up to you.
