Oh, I didnt mean to mislead, my friends ARE writing the recommendations, and I'm supposed to go meet with two of their houses. I didn't think to ask about meeting with their advisors. That is a great idea.

I know everyone keeps saying explore every option, and I haven't wanted to sound rude because I know I am asking for help. BUT TRUST ME I have explored EVERY option. All of my direct family liteally lives on farms. Most didnt graduate high much less college, and have NO collegiate connections. I am literally the first collegiate in my entire lineage except one distant cousin who didn't rush.

My teachers and high school councelor didnt either, and my councelor whom I still speak with regularly (and went to UF) said she didn't keep in contact with her friends who rushed and didn't know of any other councelors who rushed.

I have anyone I truly consider a friend about there family background. I have one friend whos mom was a DZ and I was going to meet with her through the week while her daughter is home to see if she had any connections. There may be people in my graduating class who had family, but if i don't know that person it wouldn't be any better than having an alum from an asociation write a informational rec.

I am still waiting to hear from some associations. I'm guessing they meet monthly or weekly?? But, I am prepared. I speak well to others and was a Future Business Leader in high school, therefore I feel very comfortable in interview settings. I also made a social resume using what ADPiUCF suggested on her rec. thread.

I just want everyone to know I am using common sense, and the advice Ive seen on this thread and MANY others. I just have a goal of two recs per chapter because I want to be my best. Im not looking for an easy way. Even those who would write informational recs, I would love to meet with.

Now that Ive wrote a novel.... Thanks again!!
