BlueCarnation, we also live in an area where recs are uncommon. I don’t know about the women my daughter met through the ‘cold-calling’ process, but I’m pretty positive that it was the very first sorority recommendation that almost all of our personal contacts had written! Most people seemed surprised that we were asking.
We persevered on the hunt for two reasons. First, my daughter asked a friend who is an upperclassman at a different SEC school if she had done recs. The girl said that she hadn’t but that, now that she had been on both sides of recruitment, she wished that she had. She loved where she ended up, but she felt that the process would have been less difficult if she had had recs. Secondly, from my point of view, so much of the process is out of your hands, why not do what you can to make it less uncomfortable?
