How early should I obtain Rec Letters?

Oops! My finals are this upcoming week, and then grades come out on 5/15. I don't know enough about rec letters to know what kind of resume I need (didn't even know I needed one). Just about all I know regarding rec letters is that it is good to have them! Lol

You've been at this since what? 2010? or something like that? Get it together, girl! Your school isn't super competitive, by all accounts, but you are a junior transfer, so that is a concern.

Please tell us that you significantly improved your GPA from high school. That will make you more attractive to the sororities.

Lol I wrote a paper on Greek life in 2010.. I've had an interest in it for a while, and if I've had a question about it, there's a woman who I ask, but for some reason, I've never thought much about rec letters until recently. I don't know why that is.. I know they need my grades and what activities I've been involved in, but I don't know what else is needed. As for my GPA, yes, it's better than high school, and my GPA gets better each semester, because for some reason, my each of my semester GPA's have been getting higher than the last here at my community college. My cumulative GPA is not as high as it could be, unfortunately though, because during my very first semester, my home was flooded, and we were moving from hotel to hotel for 2 months waiting for our home to be finished, and between the constant moving and never knowing where we were going to be, and all the work being done on our house, I was super stressed, and I didn't have steady internet, making my grades suffer, due to the fact that my classes that semester were all online. My GPA will be above the required minimum though..

Awesome, thanks! Hope I didn't come off as being rude stand off-ish in my reply to you! I've learned that sometimes what the way I mean things doesn't necessarily translate over well via words on a screen.
