It's official!
I've secured a single rec to every house! The alums are just waiting for me to mail my info along with pictures.
I considered getting 2 for every house, but I'm thinking that will be overkill. Especially since recruitment isn't terribly competitive here and as I've already mentioned, recs aren't necessary. I'm not sure about other PNM's and their recs, but I do know of a few fellow sophmores going through and they don't have any. So this may turn out to be a great advantage for me and a wonderful way to get introduced to the sororities on my campus. A rec for each house definitely calms my nerves a bit for some reason... haha.
I'm getting my hair cut today, followed by a fun photoshoot with a good friend of mine. I'm a photographer, but it's almost impossible for me to get a reasonable shot of myself- so thankfully I'm friends with other photographers!
I also need to work on stopping this minor case of insomnia or I will be dying during recruitment! haha!
To other PNM's reading my thread:
If you are still struggling to find recs, don't give up. It's an incredibly hard and arduous process if you don't have any greeks in your network. Utilize every bit of advice you can find on this board about how to get them! I started my quest in May and have just finally completed the task.
Don't be afraid to send out
polite emails to your local panhellenic about finding help. You may also want to include just very basic information about yourself and handful of accomplishments. I was sure to list my GPA and some of the big things I have done on campus to let the wonderful woman who would be helping me know that I'm a solid candidate for sorority life. I don't know if this is truly necessary, but I have been told that the information was
truly appreciated. Also, the number of recs you need per house will vary on a campus-to-campus basis. Check with any greeks who go to your school that you may know, along with the greek life office.
