Hi ladies! First I'd like to say that this website has been the single BEST help in approaching Greek life, because just a few weeks ago I had literally no idea where to start. That being said, I just have a few questions about my impending situation.
I know well enough from some sleuthing not to reveal too much, but in the fall I will be at an SEC school, as a dual enrolled transfer. (as in, I'm about to graduate high school, but will be a technical junior. Eek.)
Although I'm hoping they see this as an understandable situation, it's not like I elected not to rush/dropped, lol I'd do it asap!
I know that this status does come with disadvantages, but they do have an upperclassmen quota, and I am typically confident enough to approach things and make the best. And I know with the competition, I'll be needing to!
Okay, so finally to the questions:
I literally have no family friends or anything that I can find that are alumni lol. However, I have talked to a few old local friends who sent along their rec sources from the past. So (while I will contact alumni associations as needed) for these not-quite-acquaintances, should I be asking them to write an information only rec? Or perhaps a friendly invitation to coffee and get to know a little bit for a real one? I just don't want to put any of them off, not sure what's quite the norm
And if it was the latter, to my understanding I should bring a resumee, photo (plural?), and an envelope addressed and stamped to where the rec needs to go. Am I missing anything? Of course a thank you and follow-up after. Also, I think I understand that any other rec's to the same sorority would be a letter of support, should I tell them that if I have another already sent in?
Finally, I know that the sororities will be considering my college GPA, but should I give both that and high school to rec writers? And is it inappropriate to list weighted instead of regular (significant).
Oh, and last but not least. Like many other dual enrollments, I'll be double majoring, and attending the university for a full four years. I want to mention this somewhere in recruitment, but I hope it's not too.. “played out” I guess, as to come off like a tactic.
And any other general advice would be so so so appreciated
Thank you!
