My daughter was offered some recs from people that had only met her once (like the mother of someone she met at orientation) but in the meeting they mentioned that recs were not at all needed so my daughter did not pursue any. I too, got a call this morning and she has a pretty full schedule today but didn't get called back to some of her favorites.

Do recs really make a difference? And can she get a rec from a current member in another school's chapter at this time since that house seems to be one of her top choices after today?

Just lost a very long response. I'll try again.

Thanks to GC, we were very, very lucky. After her orientation in June, UGADaughter and I were working together on-line on her schedule. We decided to google "UGA Sorority Recruitment" and we were led to the last year's thread about UGA recruitment -- I think the name of the thread was "My friend's UGA recruitment." It was eye-opening. At that point UGADaughter had recs for three houses from close family friends, and didn't plan on trying to get others. After GC educated us, UGADaughter and UGAMom scrambled around to find recs from all imaginable sources (I even called two old college friends) and were able to secure recs for 11 sororities, inlcuding multiple recs for four houses.

I am certainly not qualified to give any advice, but I don't see how it could hurt to get recs in tomorrow if you can get them.

I'm going to send this and then continue so I don't lose it again.
