You can also get in touch with your hometown’s Alumnae Panhellenic Association (www.npcwomen.org). This organization may be able to assist you in locating sorority alumnae members who may be willing to help you secure those recommendations. The Alumnae Panhellenic may require you to register with them. There is no fee to register with them, and they can provide you with some resources to help you prepare for recruitment. Your hometown Alumnae Panhellenic may even host a Recruitment 101-type forum where you can learn about recruitment and recommendations.
The state of Texas is well-known for having active Alumnae Panhellenic Associations, and lots of those "Recruitment 101-type forums" are held each year in cities, suburbs, and county or multi-county areas. Ask around and be on the lookout for announcements in local or regional newspapers; usually these forums are held anywhere from late January to April or possibly early May. They can really help you with questions you might have, and (most likely) with getting recommendations, which are either essential or very desirable for a successful recruitment at nearly every school in Texas.
