Need a rec

Wow - I go out of town for a few and y'all light up yhe boards! Let me see if I can explain this from my chapter's prospective.

This is not for everybody. Go back and look at your symphony or your pillars or your mission statement. One of those tenets is probably scholarship and another service. This is an honor society. We want outstanding young ladies both for a great social aspect and for a great networking or team building aspect. It would be great if everyone went to a local school and pledged at chapters where several girls already knew them - but thats not the way it works anymore. (Even for deferred recruitment.)

A rec gives us a chance to take a chance on someone we don't know. We are going to invite her to live in our house and to really be our sister. A NPC sorority is for a life time. If you just want to meet people - join the Spanish club or something. If you had trouble with grades - please spend some time on your books. Its all for nothing - if you are Miss Super but cant graduate?

. If you really have no one in your area that you can ask for a rec - wouldn't it be better for you in the long run to join the group of someone you know? So you have a place - a friend - to go back to when you graduate?
