Recruitment as Sophomore at UA

[rolltider17]

I'm a freshman at Alabama and decided not to partcipate in recruitment as a freshman because I'm from out of state and I wasn't familiar with the rush process or the Greek system in general. Now that I've been here for a few months, I've met some really nice girls in sororities and I've decided I want to rush next year. However, I only know a handful of alums from Alabama who were involved in the Greek system, so I'm a bit worried about the quality of my recs. Also, I've been told by some that being a sophomore may automatically get my cut from some houses. I'm getting nervous about the process as a whole, because I'd really like to participate but I'm afraid I won't get bids. I know grades are important, as is meeting girls in the Greek system.Any advice, and will my lack of recs harm my chances? Thanks for all of the help!
