There seem to be two camps on GC in regards to soliciting recommendations: those who think it is okay for mom, friends or relatives to assist in finding recs., and those who think it is better for the PNM to find them herself. I belong to the first camp.

Under the circumstances that you may not get to see the friend yourself, it should be fine for mom to make the initial contact-then you can handle it from there on out, with a phone call, email or skype if friend and/or daughters (or people they know) are sorority members.
