Recs

[Fleur de Lis]

I'll be writing recs for a friend's daughter and a young lady I used to babysit.

The one I'm really excited about is my cousin-in-law. She is now a freshman at my alma mater, and when I approached her earlier this year about recruitment, she was totally not interested. Well, we saw her over spring break, and out of the blue she says "I'm definitely rushing next year and I want to go Kappa." Apparently a lot of her friends went Kappa this year and she sees that sororities really can be in line with her goals (good grades, sisterhood, etc.) not just partying and such. YAY!!

My friend's daughter decided to go to Ole Miss! Her parents recently found out that they may or may not be living in Washington in the near future, so she decided she would rather not stay out there if they won't be there. Most of my friend's family still lives in Mississippi, so her daughter will have lots of "moms" to choose from!

I love Kappa Kappa Gamma. I've done research on KKG and gone to the house at my campus and talked with the girls, and I absolutely adore them. However, recommendations are almost always needed to get in, and I don't know anyone who would be able to write me one (I don't know any alumna!). Would it be possible to find an alumna through the Headquarters, get to know her for about a year, and then maybe get a recommendation?

Please read this General Advice thread in the Recruitment Forum and scroll down to the info about Recs.

Try to go into rush with an open mind and don't have your heart set on just one sorority. Keep your grades up and be as involved as you can to build up your resume. Best of luck.

I've actually already gone through rush before and that's how I know that I love KKG. I only found this out after rushing was over though, after I could do some more research. Would it not be possible to do what I wanted to do in my previous post?

Honey, you can do all the research to your heart's content, but please remember that recruitment is a MUTUAL SELECTION.

As for your question regarding getting to know Kappa alums to get them to write your recs, well, that's for Kappas to answer.
