Many of your friends may have mothers who were in a sorority. if the mother went to college, ask her what the Greek Life was on her campus. She just may begin to tell you her sorority experience leaving the door open for you to ask for a recommendation.
Talk to your school counselor. When my children were in HS, we were told that the counselors had lists of teachers/staff who are sorority members just for this occasion-- they can send you to that person for the necessary recommendations. Be sure to give that person a copy of your resume so they can include the information on the form. If you don't give them the information, they are not going to look it up for you (grades, class standing, school activities, etc.). Make sure your resume is accurate. Mention you were on the local youth council if you were, but do not say you were an officer if you were not.
You have to take the bull by the horns. If you don't do the work, no one is going to do it for you. Someplace buried in all of the GC messages you will find a reply about my own experience back when your mother was still very young. I too am not a legacy of any house. I have a mother who rather destroy my self confidence than build it up. I was not popular in school. I only went through rush to get away from my mother a week early. I had all intentions of going through the first day parties in order to stay in the only open dorm, drop out that night and spend the rest of the week at the beach. I ended up finding my home, pledged, and have since gone on to be President of my alumnae chapter 3 terms, and on our National Leadership Team. Legacy is not a guarantee someone will get into a house!
