I am writing 4 rec letters; all to Bama. I'm pretty surprised by all of these Midwestern girls wanting to go down South.

Well, yes. I'm from the South and stayed in the region for college; the summers are overrated

Not if you're from up north! I went to high school in St Louis and came back home for college, among other reasons, because I couldn't handle the weather any longer!

Updating as I've had some recent additions to the Queen City Rec Crew!

4 Alabama
3 South Carolina
2 Tennessee
1 Georgia
1 Chapel Hill
1 Ole Miss

I can't wait to see what happens! Alabama and Georgia in process, SC and TN start Thursday, Chapel Hill to follow, and then will have to wait a while for Ole Miss....

Because you don't have to shovel sunshine or rain!

In this part of the Midwest I was pleased to discover a young lady down the road, whose front yard had the stylized lettersign 'A' of Bama on it during Spring 2015, this summer has a car in her driveway sporting Zeta Tau Alpha letters.

FWIW my Midwestern nephew wants to attend college (in five years) at Auburn or Clemson. His neighbor attends Mizzou.

They have phenomenal scholarships for out of state students. That's why all the young women I know going to Bama are going there. Full tuition, full room and board, and for engineering, they even give a stipend.

Finding recs?

Hi everyone. I haven't had occasion to post before but have lurked for a while enjoying the recruitment stories in particular :-) My daughter is planning to rush at a small Southern college this fall and there is a chapter there from which we do not know anyone who can write her a recommendation. Would it be acceptable to cold contact our local Alumnae Panhellenic to see if she could meet with a potential reference or would that be a faux pas?

I don't think rush is particularly competitive at her school, but her GPA is .02 below the minimum due to some issues she had with sports related concussions during her Sophomore year so an explanation might help what otherwise may be viewed as a grade risk.

Thanks for the advice!
