Could someone please walk me through the process of finding recommendation letters? I've poked around a few stickies, and looked through the npcwomen.org website, but I could not find how to contact local alum. Am I just looking in the wrong places?

Ask women that you know- teachers, church, neighbors, parents of your friends, friends of your parents, etc.

You can also look on npcwomen.org to determine if there is an alumnae panhellenic in your town. You can try contacting them, however it is getting a wee bit late for that.

I know from personal experience how beneficial this can be. While investigating the recruitment process, I contacted every woman I knew and learned a lot about the process. After hearing about legacies, I got in touch with my late paternal grandmother's college to see if, on the off chance, she joined a sorority. I cannot describe to you how amazing it was to learn so much about this woman. Yes she was a sorority - president of her local, on the greek council, etc. etc.

The whole process is tedious but it's worth it because you can get so much information from these women. Ask their advice and talk to them about their experience. I found that they are more than willing to share!
