Should I join now or wait?

I know letters from alumna women are still a must and if I went to U. Tenn right now I would have ever I dotted and T crossed but joining now with so many girls means focusing on the girls more and not how well you are pre-connected to that sorority. When my mom went through it was few and far between with girls that had parents that would pay for extra curricular activities or girls that would work and balance school so it was more of a tradition that relied on the letters and how many girls you are related to that were part of it. (Don't get me wrong it is still very traditional but I think things are changing). You should hear my mom's stories, they would have a bunch of widows live in the houses so they had something to do. No staying out past 10 and rarely wearing jeans and the list goes on and on about fashion assessories the 1940's woman wore.

And your post relates to what I said how??? Other than basically reaffirming the fact that recs don't guarantee you a bid at all?
