My problem is that I don't know ANYONE who has been in a sorority, and therefore won't have even one. So basically, do you think that this will completely kill my chances during recruitment?
Also, I had planned on dying my hair lavender in about a month (I've had this kind of hair before, but it's completely faded and I'm back to blonde), should I refrain from doing this? Will the sororities look down on me for it?
Thank you guys so much!!

FYI--try not to give out any other identifying information about yourself on here. Even at a big school, people can figure out who you are. You'd be surprised.
Do you have any friends who plan to go through recruitment either at UF or at other schools? I realize that you are in a unique situation yourself being a first generation college student, but maybe talking to other classmates/friends who will be going through the process will be helpful. They might be able to connect you with people who can help. And I also recommend getting in touch with your local alumnae panhellenic. Mine is always happy to try to help local girls with recommendations. The sorority alumnae will know the process for submitting the recommendation on your behalf. Don't send anything to the sororities yourself. You give the alumnae whatever information they need, and they will submit the recommendations.
Good luck!
