Also I read in another thread that this was one of the schools where reference letters were almost required. What happens if I can't find someone for each sorority?
Thank you!
Recommendations are almost necessary.

I've been privy to a rush-rec list for a top sorority there, and most in their later rounds at 2 recs at least, but I saw as many as 7 or 8.

Of all the out-of-state girls, Kansas girls have the third or fourth best chances of receiving a bid even though they're from out of state (1. Texas, 2. Oklahoma, 3/4 Kansas Missouri). It will put you at a disadvantage but you certainly have a good chance.

And keep an open mind.
