No one is saying that they can't find someone who knows her. What they are saying is that when the girl did not make arrangements for the rec, the chapter has to call their contacts in the girl's hometown who will find someone who knows her. This takes time...and time is something that chapters usually don't have much of. So not having one can get you released up front as they are required to release a certain number. Unfortunately, when there are 1500 women signed up for recruitment, it can be a numbers game. And you don't want to be just a number...and a rec is what allows you to stand out.

Thank you!!!---The last few conversations, give me the actual words to use when I speak to the gathering (200+) of mothers and potential new members at our Panhellenic Recruitment Night each year. (not that I haven't said the same thing for the past several years, but it's always great to try to quote what other sorority advisors/gifted awareness greek women preach). Another way to enlighten mothers/aunts/sisters who 'think' they KNOW recruitment NOW in the 2010 year!

Ok, I still don't think you are understanding what I am saying, because there is no way every chapter can guarantee they can find someone, because there is no sure way to say that they know someone in your hometown who is apart of that sorority and who knows the girl, therefore Im still confused as to why it becomes the chapter's responsibility to find someone a rec.

And whenever I read about recs, it's says that it is indeed the chapter's responsibility to find someone a rec, and that just seems like a lot to put onto a chapter, when it isn't their job to find someone who knows you so you can be in their sorority. Im sorry but this just confuses me lol
