You can send your rec writers the info now and tell them the deadline and really your job is done at that point anyway. AND some sororities are really looking for the recs electronically, in which case it probably doesn't matter when they arrive as long as it's not late. I think you might be thinking you have something to do with sending the recs in. You don't.

Thank you, that makes me feel relieved! I just worry a lot, and the lady writing one of my recs is a little disorganized! I really want to have a successful recruitment and I am just paranoid since I will be a sophomore come recruitment time.

Would it be appropriate to send a small gift (cookies/flowers) and a thank you note to my rec letter writiers after the letters are sent? Or would an email thanking them be better? I'm not sure what the etiquette on that is.
