rush without recs

by: undecided?

so I decided very late in the summer that I wanted to go greek and I didn't have the time to get all the packets and stuff to an alum from every house to write me a rec. what are the honest chances of me getting a bid without the recommendations? after thinking about it more, I really do want to join a sorority this year and I'm scared I won't be wanted due to my lack of preparation

Do you have good grades, activities, volunteerism, presentable looks and engaging personality? You'll be just fine!

Recs are seriously not the be all end all. Girls get into our best houses all the time without recs.

If you just decided you're S.O.L. anyway since you had to sign up by July 25. If you signed up by July 25, you had plenty of time to prepare. If you just don't care, you just don't care. Sorry.

further explanation: I was out of the country. I was able to get internet to sign up but wasn't back in time to make folders and go around and pass them out to alum, sorry if it seems like I don't care, but I literally did not have time beciase I wasn't even on this continent.

recs depend on the house. Many will take you without one, but it's doubtful that you can get into selective houses like Theta, ChiO, PiPhi unless you have one (or two). Sorry, but that's how it goes. The good news is that there are lots of other houses that may be interested.

Not true. I'm a pi phi and I never found someone to write me a rec for that house so I just winged it. Turns out I actually got cut from all the houses I did have recs for after sisterhood day.

You will be just fine. If they want you and you need a reference, they will find one for you. I went through recruitment without a single reference and kept my top choices all week. It's really more about your personality, grades and involvement.
