I saw your post on another thread telling another PNM that you've been on Greekchat and have been preparing for recruitment for a long time. This is pretty basic information about rec letters/forms, which is heavily discussed in many recruitment threads. You may not want to offer yourself as a source of recruitment knowledge -- I'm not saying that to be snarky, but just that it appears you still have some homework to do in preparation for recruitment.

Oh.. sorry, maybe I should go in and clear that up.. I wasn't offering myself as source of recruitment knowledge, I just meant that I had been asking questions about the Greek system since 2010.. I wrote a paper on it in high school is all. I didn't actually mean it like I was a source of information, and the information I did give her was all straight from other people, who are involved in Greek life from the school she will be attending. As for being on Greekchat, yes I have been looking here for a while, but when I said I've been asking questions, I was referring more to the questions I've been asking an advisor at CSULB, than anything else, as well as the interviews I conducted for the paper I did in high school.. I do know that for recommendations, they need my grades and activities that I've been involved in, I just didn't know what else they needed. I've not actually been on a lot of recruitment threads her, and the ones I have been on have only mentioned the letters in passing as like an "oh yeah, and you might want to get a few of these" type of thing. I've never known which ones went more in depth on them, or what keywords to search to find the ones that are more in depth. And yes, I know I still have to look into stuff about recruitment a bit more...
