Recommendations will be appreciated but not required. My understanding is the chapters that absolutely require them will get them for her if they're needed. There are two GC members who were advisors there this past fall so they can probably provide more current information. Hopefully they'll jump in! Recommendations should be sent in the spring or early summer to be of most benefit.

What I can tell you from observing (via GC, Facebook, etc.) is that it is more competitive than people think and your daughter should be prepared for heavy cuts. The system has undergone a rebirth of sorts over the last couple years and every chapter but one is at or very near total. Of course there are more and less desirable chapters but they're all good, and GROWING. If she goes in with an open mind she should find a home.

Iowa is a great school and a great (and OLD) Greek system but it's not tied to ancient traditions and status. She doesn't have to feel like she's been relegated to Siberia if she doesn't get what she sees as the top chapter on campus.
