I wasn't insulting your family or your background (I assume your perception of that was in a different thread). I just wanted to clue you in that, at SOME schools, connections do matter A LOT. My alma mater is not one of them. I am the first one to go Greek in my family. I did not know anyone Greek before I joined (rather, I did not know people I knew were Greek), and I did not have any recs. All I was trying to get across were that your grades/scores/activities will not be enough at certain schools if you don't have connections, or recs at least.
I truly do wish you the best of luck during recruitment. I hate the fact that at some schools, the average girl with a lot of desire to get involved in a chapter is unfairly disadvantaged because she doesn't know the right people.
Once you decide where you are going to school, I'd recommend registering with a new username and doing more reading than posting. There are some really great comprehensive threads on GC, and then you can ask more specific questions.
originally at the heart of this cautionary tale. It's not out of the realm of possibly that her "colony" experience was ended for her with a polite "no thank you" making it possible for her to participate in informal recruitment in the same school year. I'm thinking that a parent who goes to the trouble of getting involved with the Greek life office over their daughter's recruitment/membership issues gets promoted from "heli" parent to ultimate nuclear submarine parent, pretty much eliminating the possiblity of their daughter getting a bid from anyone, anywhere.
