Offer to meet them for coffee so they can meet you in person so they can write you a stronger recommendation.

BTW, it is probably the general practice that you hear back from the local APH within five days, but most of the women involved are very busy and life happens. People get sick, have to work late, go on spring break, etc. Those things happen.

Thanks, I went to every local alumnae chapter for UT sororities in my area last night after the first comment suggesting that. I emailed each one that I could find, but as it hasn't even been a day, I of course haven't heard back from any.

I completely understand about having to wait longer than five days and have no problem with that.

Great. I didn't understand from your previous post that you had contacted them. I would expect that you will get some responses. I concur that you should try to get to know the sorority women on your campus (in a non-creepy way, just friendly and wanting to know more about sorority life, and btw, how did they find recommendations?). They all have advisors, who could potentially serve as a rec. writer for you (I wouldn't suggest that you ask them for that, but know that it is a possibility if they get to know you and like you--they might offer it up.)

I commend you on your diligence in beating the bushes, early! I realize that it can be challenging to find the contacts that you need, but it sounds like you are going about it in a methodical way, so I have no doubt that you will find them.

Keep us posted, and good luck!

The only thing about finding sorority girls at my school is that UTSA and UT only have one sorority in common (ZTA). However, if I can find any ZTA's in my classes I will definitely talk to them!
