Chapman University recruitment --give a transfer PNM some advice!

[westcoastsunset]

Football Fan - Thank you, that's very helpful! I'm not sure where I'd get these references--I know this is probably a stupid question but how would I go about getting recs if my old school had no Greek system, and therefore I don't really know many Greek women? Is there some way I can get in contact with sisters from each chapter who I can talk to for a little bit so they know me enough to write a recommendation? This is kind of intimidating considering it's August already

crescent&pearls - That's great to hear! I have two roommates this year--one is from Seattle and the other from Vancouver, so I can tell there is a good pull of out-of-state students! (I am one too--Chicago pride!!) I visited the campus in March and fell in love, both with the university and the area. And you're right, being 15 minutes driving distance from Disneyland certainly helps!! Thanks

Finding references....
Think about women you know in your home town or in the greater Chicago area. There are colleges/universities in Illinois with Greek systems. Could any of your teachers, friends of your parents, Girl Scout leaders, camp counselors, employers, persons who know you through jobs or babysitting, counselors, church or synagogue members, relatives, friends of relatives or school administrators be Greeks? If you can find one sorority woman it is possible she may be able to connect you with her sorority friends. I do not know the rules for all NPC groups, but usually a sorority alumna would write the reference.

You can give it a try.
