Matt-It seems more difficult to go about finding fraternity alums than sorority alums. I don't know why, maybe it varies with different areas. We know pretty much who was what because way back when, pledging a fraternity was as big a deal (here in the south) as pledging a sorority. So Hubby REMEMBERS.

Iwould think-First look to the men in your town who are college graduates. The doctor-lawyer-local businessmen. Even asking an active woman may turn up the fact that HER husband was, or another teacher's husband was in XYZ. If their family is from the area, they will know who else around town is an alum. The smaller the town, the more difficult this could be.

If you have ANY kind of relationship with ANY of those kinds of men or women they may prove very good source. I wish I knew what to tell you. It really helps when a parent is behind you because it's easier for them to bring up the subject.
Best of luck.

PS-Some fraternities don't place the same emphasis on recs, it all depends on your Greek system and if the guys think you click.
