This is pretty much common sense to me: Contact everyone you know and ask for help. And keep asking people to ask other people. Google it. Read through old threads on Greek Chat.

You could know nothing about alumnae associations or alumnae Pahellenics and still call up the office of sorority affairs or equivalent at your college to say, "I know recs aren't required, but I REALLY want to get them I don't know anyone Greek. What advice do you have?" The college Panhellenic will surely tell them the same thing we've said.

I conclude that people who come on here flailing their hands about simply don't want to to do the work to contact people and the leg work of follow up. Or they completely lack common sense.
