I do have a friend who was in a sorority, but she ultimately left school and it was local to that school. However, she is heavily pushing me to at least go through recruitment to see how I like them.

I don't know anyone at any of the schools I'm looking at, most of my graduating class (which was small) went to Duke, Bama, Texas A&M, and then a few smaller schools in various places.
Please do not feel awkward about asking alumnae where they went to school, if they were in a sorority, if so which one, and if it is one at the campus you are interested if they would write a Rec. Most alumnae are thrilled to talk about these things. We love recounting our memories and offering advice. If none of the folks you know were in a GLO represented on your campus, they might know others that are.

Most alumnae are honored and excited to write a Rec (assuming the PNM is a qualified candidate). It's a way to still be involved in the membership selection process and to help our organization continue to thrive by getting good members. As for not having seen someone for a long time, well here's a great way to re-establish the relationship.
