recs
I have to second the part about the mindset being different outside of the south. Some of the sorority women that I know were enthusiastic that my daughter was going through recruitment, but told me that recs were really not needed! This is even though they knew she was going to an SEC school. I had a friend who had promised to help my daughter with recs, who then went out of town for a period and when she got back said, sorry she had forgotten but she was sure it would not affect my daughter's rush. If it were not for some wonderful people at an alumnae panhellenic that wasn't even in our geographic radar and a truly wonderful woman here on GC, we would never have gotten all the recs in time. And my daughter had started early. I truly sympathize with the out-of-region pnms who come to SEC recruitment without that kind of help. I know my daughter told me that alot of those girls dropped out of recruitment or were cut heavily right out of the box. (On the other hand, I think Cincinnati must be a city with a southern heart - those girls always seem to be prepared for the SEC rush.)
