I plan to participate in Recruitment at LSU in August. I really want to be excited but I am so afraid I won't get a bid because of my lack of recommendation letters. I have contacted all of the chapter houses to attempt to seek help in finding alums to write the letters with little help. I am new to Greek life. All of the women I know are not apart of any of the sororities they offer at LSU. Well anyway, I have great people skills and all...the letters are my biggest concern. please advise me!
The instructions on the recruitment info/registration sites can be confusing (and sometimes even misleading), but instead of contacting the chapter houses there (not recommended) it would be a better idea to contact local alumnae groups in your area for contacts.
Here is a thread that may help answer your question:
