A rec never hurt anybody. One or two recs at a school where they're not needed will help a PNM stand out, while one or two recs at a school where they are needed will be necessary if the PNM wants to get past open houses.

It would also look very strange if a mother / sister / grandmother / aunt of a PNM didn't write a legacy introduction (unless, of course, she is deceased). I can think of one NPC sorority off the top of my head that considers nieces to be legacies. Even if your sorority doesn't consider nieces to be legacies, write a rec and gush about how awesome she is and what a great sister she'd be.

* ETA: A positive rec never hurt anybody. Sometimes you know a PNM would just be poison for your sorority, and that's when you write a "no" rec. In most cases, and particularly in competitive rushes, that will get the PNM cut right after open houses.
