Not about recs but, how much does legacies influences IU decisions, especially Aunt legicies?

I'm now freaking out so help would be very much appericated!

Thanks!

You have ALOT of questions. It's kind of hard to tell someone every single thing they need to know about them in one post. Also, you're cutting it close since IU recruitment starts kind of soon, and it might be difficult to locate rec writers at this time, but it's worth a shot

These threads are long, but will tell you 90% of what you need to know about recs (how to get them/what they are/etc.). Please read them:

(this is just for info purposes, the list isn't intended for use anymore because it is considered bad form to solicit recs via the internet)

Note: Recs don't guarantee a bid. They're just a standard thing that girls have at some schools. but that doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't go through recruitment just because you don't have them. It's not impossible to rush at IU without recs and get a bid, but be aware that you could face heavier cuts early on.

Another note: Every sorority has a different policy regarding what makes someone a legacy. For example, my sorority doesn't consider nieces legacies, but some others do. Being a legacy does not guarantee that you'll get a bid to that sorority.

I can tell you that your rec writers will know where to send them, you don't turn them in yourself.
