Teachers, women from church, and neighbors can be good resources as well as club members. I have found a few young women on our Alumnae Panhellenic lists whom I knew but did not realize they were interested in Greek Life. From there, I was able to contact them and offer assistance. If I didn't know them, we could usually network to find someone who did.
It's a lot of work. It takes a lot of time to get recs and find people who know your daughter. For 6 houses at Georgia Tech with my older daughter, it took me an entire summer to get everything together, and that's not even in the SEC. Yes, I'm sure your daughter is beautiful and smart. So is mine. So is everybody's--that's what we're getting at here...you have to do the work if you want it to happen and that's all there is to it. And even AFTER you do the work, sometimes it doesn't work out. Lesson one in real life.
