If your teacher was happy to write you a rec, surely she has even one friend who she could connect you with to do the same.
Yes! (bolding mine). And this speaks to the Panhellenic bond we all share. I have friends in almost every female GLO, including NPC and NPHC. I am more than willing to write a recommendation for a PNM that I meet. I will also put the PNM in touch with my own network, if that's something that I think is appropriate or warranted. And, conversely, other GLO members have called me to ask me to write for a friend's daughter, a neighbor, a student of theirs, and so on.

Yet another reason to wear your badge or some insignia more often (shameless plug here). You never know who will remember that you were a DEF or GHI or whatever. And your organization, or another, may gain another fantastic member.
