rec letters

of course you can but it might be better to ask for recs personally (individually) rather than like blasting out a tweet asking for letters

It doesn't violate any rule, but I think it's too casual. It takes time for an alum to write you a rec and given that many alums are asked to write recs by a lot of girls, I suggest calling each person to ask if they will write one. I think this is far more thoughtful than a social media blast that goes to everyone which is very impersonal.

And if they do write a rec, I suggest sending a hand-written thank you, not a text or email. Might sound old-fashioned, but those little touches make a difference, especially when someone is taking their time to do this for you - and it's not something they have to do.

You can certainly ask on social media. You can have your parents ask too. Just make sure if someone offers, that YOU contact them and get any information they want/need to them in a timely manner. 100% agree to write a thank you note as well.

doesn't really matter.

top tiers = girls are picked already.
mid tiers = who you know
bottom tier = willing to take everyone


some might look at rec letters. but when you have 1000s of girls rushing, having a random active write the same generic letter as everyone else gets boring. i can't speak for other houses, but i'm top tier and I can tell you no one here bothers to look at your letters, as stated above, we knew which girls we wanted months ago, if not years ago
