Recruitment as Sophomore at UA

[violetpretty]

You won't be going through formal recruitment today! You have plenty of time to find alumnae and get recs. In a perfect world, a PNM would have 2 recs for each chapter from Bama sorority alumnae who've known her since she was in diapers. I would venture a guess that very few, if any PNMs, even at a school like Bama, would be that lucky. The important thing is that you have a rec. Although it won't guarantee you an invite to the next round, chapters will probably cut girls who don't have recs at all right away. (Speaking of first round cuts, you're right, you are a sophomore, and yes you will probably have fewer choices because of your class standing, so keep an open mind about ALL chapters.)

You don't have to have recs from Bama alumnae; you recs can be from alumnae of any chapter of the sororities represented at Bama. Some organizations allow collegiates from other chapters to write recs (not sure where that thread is). Start asking around now for recs, build and maintain friendships with women in chapters, and study hard! Don't let your grades be another strike against you!
