Recruitment at these schools?

Bolding mine - why wouldn't someone take a shower?!
Another question - would perfume or body sprays be a "No" no matter what? I don't usually spritz more than 1-2 spritzes but I'm a little paranoid of it being overwhelming to people in a small space - I don't want to be suffocating people.

Thank you for the advice.

As far as I know I don't know anyone who could write me a rec and I'm certainly not comfortable asking strangers.

As gee_ess mentioned, if you don't personally know someone who can write a rec for you, you really should check out a panhellenic alumnae group near you. No, you don't know those women, but they should be perfectly happy to help you out. Many young women who go off to college don't know people who can write recs for them, and one of the things the local panhellenics do is help young ladies in that situation.

At this link, you should be able to find an alumnae panhellenic group somewhere in your area: http://www.npcwomen.org/alumnae-panh...directory.aspx

Thank you for that link, it was full of information and answered questions I didn't realize I had.

Unfortunately there were no links in my area, or even my state. There was a listing but I couldn't follow a link or search it. Oh well, I'm not really shy but it just seems kind of wrong to go "Hi! You don't know me will you write me a rec please?"

I mentioned greek life to a few of my instructors and got either confused looks or "WHY would you want your grades to suffer as you drank your tuition away?!" which I thought the latter was a bit rude, but whatever, that's their problem. One woman was really nice and I'm starting to wonder if recs are hopeless.

Also I know someone PMed me but I accidentally deleted it. I believe it was gee_ess. I'm sorry about that.
