The good news is that you are starting this now and have time... rather than it being the week before recruitment!

Talk to every person you know: man or woman. Every teacher you've ever had (so many teachers are Greeks!). Talk to your friends already in college. Talk to every relative. Ask your parents to ask around with their friends and their friends' kids. Post on Facebook. Etc. Someone will know someone.

You can also go on Facebook and look at the sorority FB pages to see if anyone you are friends with has "liked" that page-- chances are they are a member or know someone who is.

If the alumnae panhellenic in your area isn't getting back to you, contact them again. Contact the individual sorority alumnae associations in your hometown as well to ask for assistance in securing recs. If they aren't getting back to you either, contact the alumnae panhellenics and individual sorority alumnae associations in the next town over and so on until someone responds. You can register with multiple alumnae panhellenic associations-- try Houston, for example.

Whenever someone commits to writing a rec, thank them and ask them if they have any referrals for the other sororities you need. Chances are they do or can make inquiries.

Keep asking around. Does UTSA have sororities? Do you know anyone in the sororities there? Ask for their help, as well.

Go back to your one definite and ask if she knows anyone else who can assist you. Follow up with your "possibilities" to make them definites and ask them if they know anyone else who can assist you.
