Rushing at Alabama as int. transfer

Hi everyone! As the title says, I’m wanting to rush at University of Alabama this coming fall. There is a problem though.. I know Alabama is quite competitive which by itself makes it difficult, but the main problem is that I am transferring as an international student. I will have 30 semester hours which as far as I understand will officially classify me as a Sophomore. To my knowledge this is going to make me less likely to receive bids. However, I am starting from scratch as a freshman because not all my classes are transferrable and I’m also switching major, so I will attend Bama for 4 years. Does that change anything at all, or does it not matter?

I am also having a hard time securing reccomendation letters, which I know is a must for rushing at Alabama. We don’t have greek life in Norway where I am from, so naturally I don’t personally know anyone that could write me recs, nor do I know anyone who do. I have read that many get their recs from people who are strangers really, so I guess I’ll just have to turn to the internet for this one: is there anyone who is able and willing (or know someone who is) to write me reccomendation letters for any of the sororities at University of Alabama?

I desperately want to get the full experience while I go to an American college, and would hate it if the fact that I’m Norwegian and therefore without a legacy or ties to the greek life is going to stop that. Someone has to be the first, right? I have a good GPA, I do community service, work my butt of during the summers and have been involved in extracurricular activities during high school. I just don’t have any connections to sororities, and there’s really not much I can do about it, so this is my only hope.

I would appreciate any help and advice I could get. Thank you.
