I am very sorry for your daughter, and hope that things work out for her some way.
My daughter will be attending Ohio State University. Recruitment doesn't take place until after Christmas. I understand that (or at least I thought I did) recs are not needed like they are at an SEC school. If someone has knowledge to the contrary, please let me know. Or should my daughter ask this question when she has her Welcome Week activities (where they will meet some of the people from Greek life)?
Thanks!

The fact that recruitment is delayed gives your daughter a better opportunity to figure out how common recs are. At my school, a very small one, having a rec was an exception to the rule. Just have your daughter casually ask whether most PNMs have recs or not from a sorority junior or senior (someone who has seen a couple recruitment seasons).
