I am absolutely confused by the idea of what a rec letter is, but I've learned from another post that I absolutely need them at the University I'm going to. Could you tell me exactly what a rec is, and how to attain them if you know absolutely no one who has gone Greek? I'd really appreciate your answers! Please and thank you

This sends us over the edge! You can do a search here for your school + recommendation and get tons of hits. It's a letter of introduction, so to speak. A recommendation from a member to her sorority that yu'd make a good member. Like recommending you for a job. A job reference, if you will. So, make a list of all the chapters on your campus. Then make another list of anyone you know who has attended college - teachers, counselors, employers, relatives, neighbors, your friends' parents, Sunday School teachers, etc. They do not have to be your age; they do not have to have attended your school. (I went to Alabama in the '60's and can write one for anyone going to any school where we have a chapter). When you find someone who is a member of one group, ask if she knows anyone in the other groups you need. Mark them off your list as you go. You will need a resume, a copy of your transcript and a good head shot picture to give each...and a thank you note now and a note when you pledge letting them know what happened.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the clarification and advice.
