I am a total novice, but I'll tell you how my daughter and I have been going at this, and maybe something will help.
Do you have high school friends in sororities that are on facebook? My d messaged some girls she knew in hs that are a few years older who she could tell were in sororities and asked them if they knew any alums who could help her. She also asked them if they had any local people write them.
How about posting on facebook that you want to go through recruitment could anyone help finding people in the following sororities: xyz, abc, etc.
Do you have any friends who work at: Lily, JCrew, Anthropologie - or any kind of boutique store where other sorority girls shop? My sis works at a Lily store and would ask regular women shoppers if they were in sororities and chatted them up about rec's and we got an offer that way.
Do you have aunts, cousins, etc who would help you find people? Friends of theirs or coworkers, neighbors, etc.
You know how people will greet you - hello, how are you? Bring it up! Bring it up to everyone. Be the person everyone knows is looking for recs.
It came to the point where we would be asking every single person if they were or knew anyone in a sorority. We'd ask the grocery store cashier, the dry cleaners, people standing in line around us. Now is not the time to hide your light under a bushel.
Up north the rec thing is virtually unknown so we've been educating them on it. At least in TX people will get it.
And finally, anytime anyone was willing to write a rec they were asked if they knew of anyone else that could help.
It has just about become a group effort amongst friends and family. And it actually has made it kind of fun! Everyone would cheer and get excited and get competitive about finding help.
We're hunting our final sorority and if we can't find someone in it my d will be emailing their national headquarters by mid-April to see if they could put her in touch with someone in our area.
