long shot

Hello all,

I am participating in recruitment this fall at the University of Alabama. My mother nor any family members have been in sororities, so I am relying on personal connections and my mom's friends who were Greek to help with recs. It is my goal to get a rec from every NPC sorority on campus. That being said, there is no local Panhellenic Association in my area. I was wondering if anyone could help me with networking and put me in touch with Alumnae here in Birmingham, AL.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kim,

This link from NPC's national site shows the different alumnae Panhellenics- some of the Alabama ones are listed under counties instead of the actual city. Maybe that's why Birmingham isn't listed?

Thank you for your help, but unfortunately my county nor any county close to me is listed.

Oops, sorry, NOT listed.

I would contact the county nearest to you OR the NPC Alumnae Panhellenic Advisor for Alabama and see if she can put you in touch with local alumnae.

If you aren't having any luck, you may want to contact the Alabama Panhellenic Council. They may have some ideas.

Good luck!

Congrats on Bama, Kim! Get recs from your mom's friends and see if they have any friends in the remaining sororities you still need the recs for.

Also, send around an email to everyone you know, make phone calls, get a hold of mom's Christmas card list, etc. and let everyone know you got into Bama, you're going through recruitment and you need help with recs to the following sororities... you'd be amazed at how many women and men can connect you to sorority women! You'd also be surprised at how many of your HS teachers and admins are Greeks!!!

Definitely contact the Alumnae Panhellenic in the area closest to you-- even if it isn't in your county, they may be able to assist you by phone and email, or connect you with women in your area.

Good luck. Please keep us posted

And remember, ask the MEN you know, too. They may also be able to put yo in touch with sorority women.
