instead of thinking conventionally, try thinking outside the box.

instead of thinking,"my friends in sororities might write a rec. for me, but i think that recs. from alums. hold more weight," ask your friends to write one for you. I don't know that an alumna rec. is held in higher regard than a collegiate one, but even if it is, isn't a collegiate rec. better than no recs. at all? if your friends sororities do not allow collegians to write recs., ask them to introduce you to one of their chapter advisors. those women might be willing to meet with you and get to know you well enough to feel comfortable to write a rec. for you.

should you meet with any of these alumnae, have a nice-looking, well-prepared resume' that you can give to them. dress nicely and treat this as if you were interviewing for a job.
