long shot -- update

Earlier this month, I posted this:

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,

Kim


Well, I am happy to report after working with a very connected Chi O alum in my community, I was able to secure at least one rec to 12 out of the 15 NPC sororities at the University of Alabama. I am looking fwd to rush, appreciate all of your suggestions, and look forward to updating you all again after!

If I remember properly, a woman from the DC area without any family greek connections, told her recruitment story last year, and came away with a very nice bid! *leaving an opening large enough for someone to drive a car through!*

Please don't feel that you're out of the ballgame before it's started! Good recs and presenting yourself well can work just as well as being a legacy.

As a reader of the father of a daughter who's in a sorority at Alabama, I have no clue what you're talking about honeychile!
