This sends us over the edge! You can do a search here for your school + recommendation and get tons of hits. It's a letter of introduction, so to speak. A recommendation from a member to her sorority that yu'd make a good member. Like recommending you for a job. A job reference, if you will. So, make a list of all the chapters on your campus. Then make another list of anyone you know who has attended college - teachers, counselors, employers, relatives, neighbors, your friends' parents, Sunday School teachers, etc. They do not have to be your age; they do not have to have attended your school. (I went to Alabama in the '60's and can write one for anyone going to any school where we have a chapter). When you find someone who is a member of one group, ask if she knows anyone in the other groups you need. Mark them off your list as you go. You will need a resume, a copy of your transcript and a good head shot picture to give each...and a thank you note now and a note when you pledge letting them know what happened.

You're welcome.
