OU Greek Life will tell you that recs aren't required to go thru recruitment, and they are correct. However, if you actually want to get a bid you will need some kind of recommendation for every house on campus; it's usually a form specific to that group. Only a couple of groups allow active members to write recommendations, most require that it comes from an alum, and lots of NPC groups have moved to online rec forms. For many houses the return rates are high enough that they won't try to get a rec for you if you don't already have one - grades and no rec cuts are typically early in the week. Start by asking your teachers, have your mom ask her friends, and ask at your church if you attend one. Try to find out if you have a local Alumni Panhellenic group in your area. Check Facebook for this - most larger cities like OKC, Tulsa, Dallas, etc have them. They usually offer recruitment workshops in the Spring and are also a source for recommendations. Focus on the things you can control now - grades, activities & interests, conversation, good reputation, etc. Put together clothes for each day that fit you and don't have the 'too' factors of too tight, too low, too short, etc. The advice above about picking a new favorite each day is solid. It's a hard, emotionally & physically exhausting week for both sides. If the houses you think of as 'top' houses drop you after first rounds keep going - you aren't going to magically get offered a bid from them if you drop out, and they probably won't do open rush past bid day.
