Not many since we don’t know many people who were in Greek and it was kind of a late decision to do rush! She’s just going to go with the flow, give all the houses a chance, and see how it goes. The info on the website says you don’t need the recs but I would imagine the more “popular” sororities do like having them. Here’s hoping the lack of recs won’t be a deal breaker.

The problem with reading the college or Panhellenic web site is that they have no idea which of the sororities DO require a rec by their HQ policy to extend a bid. It has absolutely nothing to do with which sorority is "more popular".

What I meant by that is in the ones that have steeper cuts earlier, the rec letters could be a filter? Well I guess my daughter will just hope for the best and see what happens. Like I said, she is open to all the chapters. I don’t know what she could have done about recs when we don’t know many women who were in sororities and she decided pretty late to do rush. I will follow the mantra I’ve seen here - “trust the process”

My daughters had no recs and had a perfect rush. We had a family tragedy the summer before they went to college and I thought of it at the last minute, so I sent info to my group. They ended up in the group of their dreams. This was ten years ago and obviously things have changed.
Best of luck and wishes to your daughter. if a group wants your daughter, it will get a rec...
