UNT Recruitment

[UNTGirl3]

Hello! I'm going to University of North Texas this fall semester. I would like to go through recruitment but I'm not to sure what I should expect. I've looked through the website to try and find some information about the UNT sororities but I can't find much about UNT specifically My parents are afraid that a sorority would take up all my time and I won't be able to focus on school. One of my fears is that the sororities will be mostly about partying. The reasons I would like to join a sorority is because I think that the whole idea of lifetime sisterhood and volunteering for a cause that you believe in is something I would love to be a part of. I've also read on their greek life website that letters of recommendation are required to pledge at certain sororities on campus. I've tried to find people that use to go to high school with me who have joined sororites who could write me a recommendation but I haven't had any luck getting someone to reply. My great aunt knows some women who were in sororites so she too is trying to help me. My local panhellenic that could have helped me get recommendation letters but they just closed for the year. Basically I'm not having too much luck and I don't know what else to do to find recommendation letters. Any suggestings? Another thing I think would hurt me in recruitment is that I am shy at first but when you get to know me I have a huge personality. Part of me thinks that I would feel especially shy at first in this situation because I am not the cookie cutter image of what I believe sororites are looking for. Overall I am just looking for some good solid advice. I am also looking for what exactly I should expect when going through recruitment at UNT. All answers would be appreciated. Sorry if these questions are already answered.
