Unless you've been living under a rock, you DO know sorority women. You just don't KNOW they're sorority women. This is the time to start working on your conversation skills and start asking every grown up woman (and man) about their Greek affiliations. What you will start to hear are things like, I'm not, but Suzie down the street is, or I'm a Beta and my wife is a Kappa. Or yes, I am, and did you know your English teacher is a Theta?

Did you ever sell Girl Scout cookies? You may have either been given the responsibility of calling your parents friends yourself, or possibly your parents brought your forms to work. Think of your recommendations search as a much more personal sale of Thin Mints. If you're in high school, I bet more than one of your female teachers is a sorority woman. If your Mom is in the Junior League or other social/philanthropic/civic organization, she probably knows sorority women. Just because they're not wearing their letter sweatshirts doesn't mean they're not members!

And don't just consider this a chore to get through. If you do it thoroughly and well, you will learn a lot about what it means to be a sorority woman and how things have changed and you will be better prepared for rush.
