Typically (though this depends on the sorority) only alumnae of that sorority can write you a rec. Some sororities allow active members to write them, but all allow alumnae to write them. And they DO NOT have to have been Greek at Texas Tech. They could be from Mizzou, USC, Colgate, PSU, etc etc. They just need to have been Greek somewhere and be from a chapter that is represented at TX Tech. And like others have said, start networking now! Email every teacher you've had previously (in HS and CC). Ask every woman or man at your church or temple. Heck, ask if they could put in an announcement or note in the bulletin to contact you if they were Greek. Ask your doctor, dentist, parent's friends, neighbors, everyone. And use each opportunity to speak to that member as though they were rushing you. Try to spark an interesting conversation with each of them as though it were recruitment. That in itself will give you some real life practice for recruitment in the fall. Best of luck and let us know how it goes! =)
