Your family friend may have a good reason for doing this. At LSU, some sororities do blind releases if you don't have the required number of recommendations (2 in most cases where it is done) to be invited back to second round. She may be trying to get some more references for you. If your parents belong to a Krewe and her contacts belong to the same Krewe then the recommendation can be written as an acquaintance. It is better to have recommendations come in as personal or acquaintance then as a "Don't Know". IMHO
Between my husband (a Pi Kappa Phi) and I, we belong to 4 Krewes. We don't know everyone's children but we do know the parents. If any member asked us to write a recommendation, we would do it based on our personal knowledge of the family as well as the child's resume.

Guess what, a friend of our family is writing a rec for me and she needed to know if my parents are in any krewes!!!!I thought rush/recruitment was about ME and MY qualifications. Yes I am shocked, but I guess I shouldn't be. My question is, do ALL the sororities ask this information at LSU or is it an exception?
