Thank you, FSUZeta! I hate getting calls from friends/parents of students asking me if I can write a rec for Suzie PNM. Why can't Suzie call me herself?
ClassicBeauty, I'm excited about our first current thread of the rush season!

If it's a little difficult to approach alumnae who you don't really know, go with your mother for that personal touch. BUT, make sure you do the talking!
Let them see that you are intelligent, poised, and talented - consider it practice for when R really starts!
Edited To Add: Best of luck to you!

Best of luck to you Classic Beauty!!
Just remember to keep an open mind, through it all - it's very hard when you first get on campus and you hear things from your dormmates!! And most of all, just be yourself!
And thank you for documenting your story - I'm excited to hear what happens!

About 15 years ago or so our Alumnae Panhellenic used to hold a recruitment open house in the early summer for graduating high school seniors and their mothers. Panhellenic instructed the rushees that recs should always be secured through their mothers - that it was inappropriate to get them yourself! Maybe that was just a local custom or a sign of the times that has gone by the wayside.

For some reason, the multi-quote feature wasn't working.
alum, nice suggestion to PNMs. It's even better when the PNM lets you know where she ended up!
irishpipes, I've heard of the same thing. I've wondered if it has anything to do with the higher incidence of divorce & remarriage?
