That is why we are starting early - we are definately small town USA, but very charming, old historic homes etc. The midwest is not a hotbed of sorority alumna from what I can tell. I transplanted from the South, and my dad still lives in GA. Is your reference to Macon Magnolias related to Macon Georgia?

Ann Arbor is within driving distance and is where I went to law school. Is it appropriate to contact a sorority at Univ. of Mich. for help? I wasn't sure if actives could write recs.

Some sororities allow collegians to write recommendations. Members should be aware of what their rules are.

Some of you may disagree with me, but I don't think it's appropriate to contact any of the Michigan sororities, even if your daughter will be attending a different school.

I agree. Unless you actually know those sorority members I don't feel that is appropriate. But say, your friend's daughter goes to school there and is a ZYX. If you know her, and her GLO says it's OK for collegians to write recs, then I'd say that is different... But I wouldn't go emailing all of the chapters at Michigan looking for recs. That is not approporiate at all.

Re: Macon Magnolias - that is in reference to ADPi & Phi Mu, both of whom were founded in Macon, GA.

Even if you are in a small town in the midwest I don't think that should hinder you from trying church or other family member contacts.

Take me for instance. I grew up in a TINY town in the southern part of Texas. You may think all of Texas is all about greek life because it's Texas and we have a few flagship schools, but the area I grew up in was nothing like that. There were, however members of many NPC's. Many of which were members at other Texas schools and moved to the area I group up in.

So the point is, just because Greek Life doesn't have a huge presence in your area does not mean that people there are not greek. You just have to find them
