As a grad of TCU I would say just have friends send them directly to the chapters. I know that my chapter was receiving recs right up until the first rush group came through the doors. Please note: recs are a *must* at this school.

With virtually 1/2 of TCU women being active in sororities and even more than that participating in recruitment I would agree that this is an excellent idea for the daughter of your friend. TCU has tons of out of state students that rush, so this would be a great opportunity to meet other new freshmen even if she decides not to pledge.

(I do hope she pledges... I am very proud of the greek system there and have wonderful memories of friendships both in and out of my chapter. There are 11 excellent NPC chapters at TCU)

All that travel and oversees living are great to include on the resume. Yay for easy topics of conversations!

Please keep up posted!

ETA: While we did accept recs up until the last possible minute, I can not stress enough that I do not recommend that route for your friend! This would be especially true since she doesn't know anyone in the chapters yet. I would say to get them there ASAP, but at minimum no later than 10 days prior to the start of recruitment.

Also.. since, as you likely know, things in Texas are done a little differently than the rest of the world (um, overdone perhaps???) , be sure that she really studies the pictures for recommeded dress for each round, and then notch it up a bit. A friend of mine from CO noted that 1st round was causal so she wore verrrrrry casual shorts and a t-shirt! The rest of us were in causal-but-cute skirts with dressy tees. She may also want to ask some of the girls (from Texas) in the dorms what they will be wearing each round and dress in a similar manner. It was always easy to pick out the Texas girls during rush!
