oos recs

Chances are, your rec is gonna be a better rec from someone you know opposed to someone you don't know. As far as I know the rec writer will write on the rec that they don't personally know you but you're a friend of a friend or something like that, while someone you know would write that they personally know you very well and they've watched you grow up into great kid. It does help for it to be from an Ole Miss alum though. Even though you don't really know some of your moms friends who are Ole Miss alumni, they probably know you (if they are still good friends with your mom) and they keep up with you from your mom's Facebook and things like that.

Get one to write your rec and get the other one to write a letter of support, so either way you do it, you have an Ole Miss alumni and someone who knows you really well (that will probably rave about how great you would be for her sorority) sending things in about you.

Someone else may have some advice about this too

Have the ole miss alumni write your recs and your hometown alumni write your letters of support.

Trust me when I say many many girls will have dozens of letters of support.

We don't read those things, but our alumni sure do when THEY are voting.

XO requires that your rec by someone from your home town. Not even a neighboring suburb, it needs to be someone that lives in the same city you have in your address. Even though everyone says it isn't needed, lots of girls get 2 recs, then a letter or two if they have enough connections. That is not the deciding factor but it doesn't hurt to have a few. There are girls who have been hurt by having a flood of letters - smacks of desperation, so don't worry if you can just get one. I wouldn't recommend getting more than 2 or 3 unless you have family friends who are active in the local alumni chapter or in Ole Miss stuff.
