I am so sorry about the passing of your friend. I hope you are doing a bit better.

As for your post, while I don't personally know you, please don't sell yourself short. You have just as much of a chance to get into a house as any other girl that goes through recruitment. And as weird as this may sound, having friends in houses does help. Yes, they are only one person during thier chapters MS process, but they can obviously vouch for you.

Well.. I have recs for 3/4 of the houses! I have a sneaking suspicion that Cadence is responsible for securing a rec for her house, Alexisonfire. An alum called me out of the blue today saying a current member had passed along my number so she could speak with me about writing a rec on my behalf. The alum also laughed when I asked who and said I would just have to wait to find out! haha!

Anyway, I am desperately seeking one more. However, it's been rather well...excuse my language but, hellish!!!! Like I already said, they aren't necessary on my campus for a successful recruitment experience, I just feel like I am entitled to every advantage possible!

I also have all of my outfits together and they are just too cute. Thank you everyone again that gave me all of that valuable input! Due to finances I wasn't able to get any of the dresses I posted, but your opinions definitely helped me while I was shopping.

I am just so ready for recruitment to get here. All of these retro threads lately have made me even more ready for it!

It's official! I've secured a single rec to every house! The alums are just waiting for me to mail my info along with pictures.

I considered getting 2 for every house, but I'm thinking that will be overkill. Especially since recruitment isn't terribly competitive here and as I've already mentioned, recs aren't necessary. I'm not sure about other PNM's and their recs, but I do know of a few fellow sophmores going through and they don't have any. So this may turn out to be a great advantage for me and a wonderful way to get introduced to the sororities on my campus. A rec for each house definitely calms my nerves a bit for some reason... haha.


I'm getting my hair cut today, followed by a fun photoshoot with a good friend of mine. I'm a photographer, but it's almost impossible for me to get a reasonable shot of myself- so thankfully I'm friends with other photographers!

I also need to work on stopping this minor case of insomnia or I will be dying during recruitment! haha!

To other PNM's reading my thread:
If you are still struggling to find recs, don't give up. It's an incredibly hard and arduous process if you don't have any greeks in your network. Utilize every bit of advice you can find on this board about how to get them! I started my quest in May and have just finally completed the task.
Don't be afraid to send out polite emails to your local panhellenic about finding help. You may also want to include just very basic information about yourself and handful of accomplishments. I was sure to list my GPA and some of the big things I have done on campus to let the wonderful woman who would be helping me know that I'm a solid candidate for sorority life. I don't know if this is truly necessary, but I have been told that the information was truly appreciated. Also, the number of recs you need per house will vary on a campus-to-campus basis. Check with any greeks who go to your school that you may know, along with the greek life office.

Good luck with recruitment, Soliloquy. It's a lot of fun though a little stressful!

Dear Soliloquy,

I just found your thread and wanted to wish you good luck. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend passing away in May, but I'm sure she's looking over you
