Your aunt and grandmother are not able to write you letters of recommendation because their sororities do not have chapters at NCSU, and only members of sororities that have chapters on your campus may write recs. to the chapter there. for example, i can write a recommendation to any ZTA chapter anywhere, but I cannot write a rec. to another sorority, nor can I write a generic rec. to a panhellenic. maybe your aunt or grandmother know friends of their's who are members of sororities with chapters at NCSU. Your cousin may be another source of recs. Ask her if she had recs. for the chapters at her college-she may be able to hook you up with ladies who can help you out. If you have friends in NCSU sororities that you feel comfortable enough with to ask, ask them to help you find recs.

Ordinarily students at most colleges have a hard time going thru recruitment as seniors, I don't know how it is for NCSU. All you can do is try, but understand that you will not be viewed the same as a freshman who potentially has 4 years to give the collegiate chapter.

I will say this-my daughter's senior year in college, a senior went thru recruitment for the first time at my daughter's school, which has a competitive recruitment. This girl had been very involved on campus, had good grades and knew lots of girls in all the chapters. She received and accepted a bid and as far as I know was a good member, so stranger things can happen. Heads are still spinning over this, though.

Good sleuthing, Barbie's Rush.
