My daughter has expressed interest in the sorority. I tried to discover information on costs, which led me here. I quickly discovered how very complex the whole system is!!

I have certainly learned a lot and if my daughter decides to get involved, I will certainly have a better understanding of what goes on.

I do have a question and I haven't found a similar situation posted, so will need to ask it myself.

DD is planning to attend a SEC school. Not one that stands out as the most competitive for recruitment, but SEC nonetheless. I have discovered that if she signs up for recruitment, she should get recommendations. We recently found out that she will have another school conflict that overlaps at least part of the time with recruitment.

Is it better not to sign up at all? Or should she sign up and see what happens? Should we try and get recommendations? We know a few people but it would definitely take effort to obtain 2 for all of the houses. Moneywise, I can absorb the cost if signing up is for naught.

DD would likely be competitive grade wise (3.5 UW and 4.1 W), has outside activities and leadership, but is from a distant state. She is pretty ( of course I think so) but not stunningly model gorgeous. She will have no connections to any of the houses. She is not a legacy.

Advice would be appreciated.

Gratefully, Kanga
