I'm an active at mizzou, and while recs are important, if you don't have any or very few, if you have a good resume (ie, the stuff you put on your recruitment application) and grades, it shouldn't be a problem. I know girls in every chapter who didn't have recs for their particular chapter. I also know girls who got released from chapters where they had multiple recs.
Recruitment at mizzou is VERY intense, but you have to realize that it's a midwestern school so there are a LOT of PNMs who don't really know what's going on.
Overall, greek life at mizzou is great, and I'd recommend it to anyone. PM me if you have questions!
ETA:
as for reasons to join a sorority (to tell your parents):
- have them check out the parent section of the Greek Life web page, it provides a lot of parent-friendly information
- Greek life makes the campus seem SOOO much smaller
- You get to know LOTS of people (Networking for later in life) that will be your friends forever
- You get to be involved in some of the oldest traditions on campus more than non-greeks (ie, homecoming)
- Your sophomore year you get to live in a nice mansion for not much more than the cost of living in a dorm, with cooks, maids, and a house mom instead of being on your own in a gross apartment
- Sororities women have higher GPAs than non-sorority women -- and sororities are GREAT study resources with study groups, hours, and old note files
- Sororities make college a lot more "home-y"
