This is great advice. As a test, I went through and just did a Facebook search for a specific NPC group. It pulled up the national Facebook page and a few campus pages, alumnae groups, etc, but it also pulled up posts my friends had made or liked that had that sorority in the post. I found one AOII that I didn't previously know about because she made a post a few months back mentioning it and also a few people that had liked or commented on someone's post or picture mentioning that sorority. If that person seems to be good friends with my Facebook friend, it may have been worth reaching out to see if an intro could have been arranged.
Now don't go all stalker level with that, but it could help point out connections for you. Facebook's algorithms sometimes may prevent people from seeing your post asking about recs, so this could be helpful. Twitter or Instagram may be helpful like that too, but that would be finding recent alums more often, as most of us old folks use Facebook still.
