Also, I have been keeping up with the "incorrect advice" thread...but I promise my advice is good as I am currently an active UK sorority member
Get recs if you can. They can only help. This isn't Ole Miss or Alabama but it is still competitive especially if you aren't from the typical Louisville, Lexington, Cincinnati area schools.
Also, start looking for your white bid day dress NOW!!! They will only be harder to find come summer especially if you live in the aforementioned areas.
