Hi gam-ma,
My daughter went thru Rush at Ole Miss last year. I was not in a Sorority and had to rely on friends' advise to figure it all out. This is how I understand it and what we did:
One FORMAL REC for each Sorority
At least one INFORMAL LETTER from past members and the more the better.
We spent alot of time calling around and finding people (some ladies called and volunteered when they heard she was going to OM - that was very nice!) She ended up with a rec for each and as many as 5 letters for a few but no letters for a couple. We gave each person (whether rec or letter was being written) a resume, picture, her gradepoint avg, and an addressed envelope. (We looked on the internet for the correct Oxford address for each sorority.)
She went with an open mind, had a fun Rush experience, and pledged a great Sorority. Altho all the work seemed a little strange at the time, it was worth the effort.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
A Southern Mom
