Totally Clueless about Rushing

[gatorK130]

Hi, I'm also rushing at UF this fall! Earlier today I was just googling outfits to wear for rush, and I came upon this website, made an account, and started freaking out. I had no idea I needed recs! It wasn't even mentioned once at my orientation, or in any of the pamphlets.
I've found one good rec for one of the sororities, but I have no idea how to find any others. I'm asking basically everyone I know and their mother, and haven't found anyone.
How exaclty would I go about finding a rec on this site? I saw the board that said some people would do recs, but I couldn't always tell which sorority they were in, and there wasn't a list. Would I just PM them asking if they would be willing to write a rec?
Also, I know that they would have to say that they don't actually know me. Would that me a major downfall?

GCers generally aren't going to write recs for PNMs that they don't know.
