Okay to ask here...?
Hello. I attend University of Missouri. Formal Recruitment is in the fall here and I decided to participate. I was honestly dropped from all chapters after round 1. I tried my luck with informal, fell in love with the chapter I visited and received the rejection this past Friday. The problem is I transferred schools from a school with no Greek Life. I struggled with depression until this last year so my GPA isn't the best. I'm a junior by credits but I am a sophomore by course sequence. So that is my sob story. But here's the good part. The house I fell in love with is a newer chapter on campus so they do informal every semester. My pi chi's from formal are still in contact with me and supporting me. I'm going to focus make this a great semester and show the chapter who I really am! My GPA will be replaced after this first semester because of how transferring works so next semester my GPA will be restarted with what I get here!
I know another issue was that I have no recs. Would it be an appropriate thing to ask on here if there is any alumni of the sorority that may be willing to write one for me? I understand if not because of never knowing me in person or if they would want to maybe speak 1 on 1 before writing me one. I want Greek life so bad and it hurts for all of this to be keeping me from it. I'm a first generation, so I feel so lost with no one to help me.
