Personally, I would say yes, it would sound like you're desperate. But hey, other people might think differently. The thing about the really strong groups in the South is that some chapters only will consider recs from somebody who personally knows the girl and/or her family. Another group or two will only accept recs from the designated sponsor chairman or committee for that city. More than likely, if she and her parents ask around, she'll be able to get 95 per cent of the groups covered.
