I'm going to assume that the sororities at your school are NPC sororities.

You have no control over the fact that you're not a legacy, so don't worry about it. Legacies do have something of an advantage, but sororities offer bids to plenty of non-legacies all the time.

As for letters of recommendation ... it depends on the school. At some schools such as LSU and Bama, recs are a must, and good luck getting invited back to a chapter where you don't have a rec. At others, it doesn't matter nearly as much, but it still doesn't hurt to round up, say, one rec per chapter. It shows you've put in the effort.

Are your grades up to snuff?

Go into recruitment with an open mind.

You may have seen the recruitment stories forum. We'd love to hear your story - after you've completed recruitment. People have gotten burned when they've posted their stories in real time and said negative things.

Relax, have fun, be yourself, and good luck!

The sororities I am planning to rush are NPC, correct. I graduated high school with a 3.4 GPA not ideal not horrible either. Will this be a major problem? Thank you for your advice
