Pixie,
If I had read the FSU threads before my daughter started recruitment, I would have been a basket case for her. Luckily, I didn't and didn't drive her crazy with my worries.
My daughter did have a good GPA and several activities but she didn't ask for any recommendations. She attended a rush meeting in our town during last summer but recommendations were not really pushed. If she had realized the importance, I know she would have pursued them.
My daughter was asked back by all the sororities and found the hardest part of rush was cutting sororities from her list because she said every sororitiy had something good to offer. During the week, I think she changed her mind back and forth about which sorority was the right one for her. In the end, she received a bid from her number one choice and she is very happy. From what we saw at Parents' Weekend, it is a good fit.
I know, for her, it was best going into recruitment just planning for the best and not worrying about competitiveness. The running around all week, in the miserable heat and rain, is enough stress.
Good luck.
