FSU .... nervous about not obtaining a Rec.

[LuckyNoles]

hi everyone, i know there is alot of discussion over whether or not a rec is much needed or not needed at all based on certain sororities, certain schools, etc. i have done alot of research and looking up before registration and everything and i am now feeling nervous about the fact that i don't have any recommendations. i filled out my application and i hope that they will see that i have had many activities and leadership, however no one in my family or family friends has ever rushed a sorority. i live in florida now but my family all comes from canada in small towns and none of them ever attended college really until we moved here and they were older, much less join a sorority. basically i am going to be the first one, which of course i am thoroughly excited about!! i know that it is not required, but now i am feeling a little more skeptical about what others will think of me based on the fact that i have not been recommended. the opportunity was to obtain one was basically not in my hands. what is your advice for someone like myself?? i feel confident that i can be myself and hopefully connect well with the girls ... but i feel like all of this has me thinking too much. also, if anyone is a house member at FSU, maybe they could offer some insight about the importance of recs at my school??

thank you so much everyone. i am still very excited to rush this fall!!
