I love to hear that! What chapter?

I love the suggestion I heard on another of the rec help threads. Ask your church office if you can put an announcement in the weekly bulletin saying that you'll be attending XYZ university and are going to participate in recruitment and could anyone help with recs.

Troy University

Thank you for your advice but I don't belong to a church :( However I have been emailing local alumnae chapters today and have had some success!

what good news!!! don't give up!

Best of luck! This is a true 6 degrees of separation test. I can tell you for sure you know someone who knows someone. (Is 6 degrees of separation a foreign concept these days? Just in case, the idea is that you are 6 people away from knowing absolutely every person in the world.) It's just a matter of asking the right person the right question.

And the follow up question to were you in a sorority or fraternity (yes, ask the men too), is do you know of anyone who was? I'm going through sorority recruitment this fall and I am looking for recommendations.

FSUZeta actually helped me out a lot with this one, she found the alumnae Panhellenic group for my county on facebook, and let me know it was there. From there I was able to contact some women from there who not only wrote me recs but passed my info off to other people who could. Maybe the groups don't always meet in summer, but everyone checks their facebook ;)

The friends who are in chapers at UF - ask them if they know a local alum they can introduce you to! Anyone you find in one group, ask if she knows someone in the other groups. Alabama has 17 NPC groups and I know someone in every one of them. ASK!

Thank you all! I have had a lot of success contacting alumnae chapters! I have also networked some more and found some greeks I knew that surprised me. Thank you again :)
