Rushing Alabama as a Transfer

[elizabethjoy]

Hey! So I graduated last year from high school and now I'm going to a small Christian college in southern california. Next year I am transferring to the University of Alabama and I am very worried about rush next year, especially about getting letters of recommendation and that not being from Alabama will hurt my chances. Three of my best friends rushed this year and are in three different sororities, I liked one of their houses and the girls in it but I'm scared that won't help my chances since I only visited once and probably will not visit again until next year when I rush. They are all sure they can get me into their houses, but I'm obviously not planning on that. They also said they would help me get letters of rec but I don't think I can use their contacts because I have never met them, what do ya'll think? Also any other tips to get some letters would be greatly appreciated and on rushing in general at Alabama and as a transfer. Thank you!
