My crew has expanded some more. I've now added an Auburn girl and one going to Oklahoma State.
Thanks again to all you gals who have joined my FB group and volunteered to do recs! Tremendous help, ladies, and I can't say it enough.
As for PNM/rec stories, I and some other sorority alums were once kind of told by a PNM's mother that our services wouldn't be needed. We were at a mutual friend's party and the mom was talking about daughter's acceptance to one of the most competitive SEC schools. Several of us offered to do recs, but mom just smiled sweetly and gave us that "oh, thanks but no thanks" expression. She said daughter already knew which sorority she wanted and was "pretty much guaranteed a bid" because she had friends in it and that "they just love her."
Well, they didn't love her past the first party that was followed by heavy cuts. The girl was dropped from recruitment, sadly, but she went into a big SEC recruitment with no recs and that's what happens. I know another girl who did the same thing last year. She not only went into an SEC recruitment with no recs, but she also went in as a junior. I don't have to tell you what kind of week she had. Again, she thought friends would seal the deal for her.
