Hey!
Well, being biased cause I am a Zeta :-D I think it's awesome that your sister wants to go greek at Tech (and even better that she wants to be a Zeta teehee). I go to the University of Oklahoma, and so I've met quite a few greeks at Texas Tech (I love the Tech Zetas so much!!). What they do here at the University of Oklahoma was that NPC has changed their rules so that it is the sorority's responsibility to obtain the recommendation and not the girl's. What happens is that alumni from your sister's hometown (or close to it) for each sorority volunteer to write recommendations for girls, and they are given a list of names with basic information about each girl (your sister will probably have to submit a resume when she signs up for rush with basic info, and the writer will go off of that). Then the alumnae writes the recommendation and sends it off to the chapter. Of course, it always helps when you can get a recommendation written by someone you know personally cause they can brag on you more :-D. I don't know if it is exactly the same at Tech, but I imagine that it is structured the same cause their Greek system is huge like ours and it makes things easier to do it that way. Well, I hope that I was some help. If your sister has any questions about rush (or Zeta), tell her to
E-mail me and I'll be happy to talk to her. I'll catch you later!!
