No you can't. Don't be lazy. Get your recs.

If you get them for all houses, no matter where you end up, you'll know you did everything you could. If you're lazy and don't get recs and then end up in a crappy house, you'll always regret that you didn't get all your recs.

So get your d@mn recs.

so i am out out of state and i realized that i didn't get any recs for my sorority that i ended up in, it was old row too.... i did get recs for other sororities when i could find someone to write them, it doesn't hurt.

it doesn’t hurt to get them but their definitely not as important as people say they are. There were girls in my ro chi group who had two for each house and got dropped by all their top houses and two were dropped from rush completely but girls who got no recs and ended up in top old row houses.

You need recs. Some houses (XO is one that immediately comes to mind) require a rec letter to offer a bid.

You do. Reach out to friends parents, coaches, siblings friends parents, your teachers, your moms friends, dads coaworkers? . Ask until you find them

Just try! If you’re international, we’ll give you a break. If you’re not, you need to try really hard to get them. After exhausting all the resources she told you above, then you can look up to see if your nearest city has an alumni chapter and ask one of them to write for you.

If you don't have recs, we figure you're lazy and will drop you. Those who think they pledged with no rec - odds are some alumna in your hometown wrote you a rec that you weren't aware of.
