1. Are recommendation letters necessary at any Canadian schools?
2. Is recruitment fashion the same as in the states?
3. What was it like rushing a Canadian sorority
4. What exactly is GreekRank. And is it accurate.
In relation to question 4, I am keeping a very open mind to all the sororities, but I am researching so I can get a feel for how the greeks of the community treat each other. Is Greekrank an accurate place?
Thank you very much for any insight you can give

Now this is a fresh subject! Thanks for asking!
1. Recs being required are according to the sorority, not the school. My sorority requires them. I can't speak for others. However, it's going to be harder for a Canadian to find recs because there are not nearly as many sorority alumnae in Canada.
2. No clue! I'm sorry! But check the chapter websites...that should give you an idea.
3. Again, no idea, but I'm very interested to find out. What you need is somebody who's done both, and that person may not be on this board. We may, however, have some alumnae who have advised at both.
4. Greekrank is what you would expect any site that allows random, anonymous posting to be: full of hateful, stupid comments that are complete fantasy. There might be a few nuggets of truth in there, but you'll have to look long and hard to find them.
Best of luck to you!
