yet another question about recs...lol

[FSUZeta]

if your daughter attends uf or auburn she will definately need recs. good for you for beginning the process now.

don't know if anyone listed this possibility, but your daughter might also solicit the parents of her friends for recs. you and your husband could ask your co-workers. explore every possibility.

if you or your sister are sorority members, but have not been active as an alumna, now might be the time to get involved again. reconnecting with your sisters will probably lead to members of other sororities and there you go.

I am guessing that if you went to law school there were some NPC women in your class - and probably are in your firm, if you're practicing!

I will follow the great suggestions- you probably wont hear from me for a while but I will be lurking out there and next summer I will try to get my daughter to post a recruitment story thread. I love that Greek Chat is available. I did not go greek because I was on a fast track graduation plan, (3 years 1 qtr.) and always regretted it because my sister had a great time with her sorority.

OK...I've gotten differing answers regarding this, so I'm going to see what the general consensus is here: Daughter is going out of state. She has at least one rec to all the sororities, in fact all but one have 2 or three, including local recs and recs from former alums from that school. There is one sorority that that she has a local and alum rec, but I also have 2 cousins that went to school there and were in that sorority. (are you lost yet?)

My question is this: How many recs are too many, or should we go with the more the better? Rush is pretty competitive, just as it is at all SEC schools.
