Exactly, even if someone isn't Greek, he/she may know of Greek women. Even if you just just one Greek, even if it's a fraternity man or a sorority woman whose sorority does not have a chapter at UCF, chances are VERY good that they will know of others.

I say this every time a PNM is getting discouraged looking for recs, and I'll say it again. I am from a small town of 6,000 people in rural Maryland, which is not the cultural South (always a topic up for debate, but it's not Southern when it comes to Greeks). My high school graduating class was about 160. If a PNM came asking me for recs, I could connect her with alumnae and /or collegiates from 20 of the 26 NPCs, and this does NOT include people I know from UMD, only people who live in my town and/or graduated from my high school. I actually started a facebook group for all of the Greeks from my town for this purpose.

Keep trying. What about friends who are already in college? They stand a good chance of at least knowing a Greek. Think about how many people you really know.
