Scratch my Clemson rec -- we don't have a chapter there! Duh. I've had her on the brain, though, because I directed her mom to some alumnae for some of the chapters they do have.

Regarding Perfect PNM and her select recs, you're right Pirouette -- a rude awakening awakes. You might say this girl's cup runneth over with an abundance of confidence. She knows other girls "like her" who have had rocky recruitments and you'd think she would learn from their experience, but I guess not.

What's also unfortunate is when they begin recruitment, visit chapters they didn't get recs for and realize, "oh wow, I really like these girls; I'd probably fit in here." It's a lot to realize, and a lot too late...but that doesn't stop their panicked mothers from scrambling around to see if they can get a rec emailed over before early cuts are made. Good luck with that.

I've got another girl in my area who wasn't interested in a rec for a particular GLO at her SEC school. She wasn't "impressed" by them at Orientation. The person who would have done her rec is an alum of the same school and that actual chapter, and a former state senator who was the youngest ever elected to that state. Well known in the state for her charitable and political work, and would have been a great one to provide the rec...too bad her sorority wasn't good enough for Miss Unimpressed.
