Since I know her daughter I said I would be thrilled- but I didn't realize her daughter was that old ( thought maybe she just looked really young?). She responded that her daughter will be a freshman in high school next year, but it is never too early to start a list of people you know that are greek. I was a little surprised, since here in Indiana, recs aren't THAT big of a deal, but then I discovered that Mom was greek at the University of Texas. then it all made sense!

HA. How funny.

I'm in Ohio (which much like Indiana, doesn't see much of a need for recs outside of like 2 schools) but I have been contacted by parents whose kids are headed out of state to SEC schools. Granted, the SEC schools don't have Tri Sigma chapters, but I DO have buddies from other sororities that may be willing to help out.

That's why it's good for PNMs to ask ANY sorority member they know--even if their org doesn't have a chapter at the school the PNM is attending. You never know who they know!
