Please, please, please do not judge sororities just based on the actions of some GC members. Go through rush (recruitment) and see what happens. Each chapter is different from each other, and sorority members are a very wide range and while you will have those that....don't represent their organization to the best that they can, there are many more out there that are nice and helpful.

While that is said, please contact alumnae associations both near where you live and where you are going to school. That's your best bet for rec's, and not from over the internet. Also check out your school's Greek Life page it should have some info on recs for you there.

Good luck!

Remember too that the sororities at your school have your information, and may be getting recs for you . Don't count on it, but don't panic too much if you are missing one or two.

Good advice Buttonz. This honestly isn't meant to be snarky, and not really directed at the OP in general, but I would highly advise any GC PNMs against going into recruitment saying "Well, some people on the internet with those letters in their signatures were mean to me so I'm not going to give them the time of day."

Honestly, people will look at you like you've got three heads if that's your explanation for why you don't want to be an XYZ. If someone said that to me during recruitment I'd probably have been like "Ummmm... okay....sorry you had a bad experience on the internet, peace out."

Buttonz is absolutely right, many NPC sororities have HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of members and you know what? You're probably not going to like everyone from any particular group on the internet, or within an individual chapter, or even your pledge class. That's okay, it's life, just please keep an open mind about every group when you're going through your recruitment. Even if an XYZ from the internet, or another campus, or whatever was mean to you at one point.
