Trouble with Recommendations!

[KSUViolet06]

I posted this in another thread about recs and I thought it might be helpful if I posted it again here:

Understand that getting recs can be difficult, especially if you don't live in an area with lots of greek women or you don't have many greeks in your family.

It just takes persistence. You have to exhaust all of your available resources & contacts. Think of EVERY place you go regularly where there are women who know you well. Any of them could be a sorority alumna.
Some of these places include:

*school (teachers, counselors, coaches)
*church or other place of worship ( sorority women might attend your church service or lead your bible study)
*camps you attend(ed)(your camp counselors might be sorority women)
*work(co-workers or their family members might be greek)
*your parents(their co-workers or friends)

Good luck!

Ask men you know, too, they may have connections.

^ I second that. Sometimes father's work colleagues or even old college buddies are married to sorority women willing to help out!

Like these lovely GC'ers have said, exhaust all possible options. When I went through this process I was shocked at the number of almuni I found. My mother was a high school teacher at the time and many of her fellow teachers had been sorority members previously unbeknownst to me.

Good luck
