question
 

turns out one of my friend's sororities wrote a rec for me to DZ (DZ gave the NPC chapters forms to reccomend girls). I am so excited! Does that hold the same weight as one from an alumna?12 days til' DZ recruitment!!!

Aiya,

I know AGD does not look at letters from other groups alums as recs. they have to be AGD alums.

Have you tried going tothe DZ threads and seeing if anyone there would give you any advise? Or maybe contacts to DZ's in your area?

Good luck

go DZ!!!
 

To the girls thinking about joining the DZ colony....you should really consider it....there are so many great experiences you will gain especially because you will be there from the start. I missed out on that by a few years but the stories I have heard are great, a lot of work but without a doubt worth it. Good luck making your decision.:)

If DZ gave out forms to other NPC organizations with which they might recommend women for their colony, then it sounds like your friend sent them exactly what they wanted. There have been other threads where we've discussed Panhellenic references. The general consensus there was that a sorority woman can see a good potential sorority woman. If she wants you to be Greek and doesn't care about the letters you wear, then you must be something special.

Being from a relatively young chapter, I have a soft spot in my heart for colonies. I want to work with Kappa HQ extentions when I grow up. Best of luck to you and keep us posted.

I have to agree the sky's the limit for colony membership.
Unlike an established chapter they need all types of members, leadership being VERY high on the list.

Keep us posted, both of you on your DZ and DG colonizations!

By the way, I am happy to see NCSU expanding. I heard they resently lost a chapter, but that is such a large school the Greek System should be very strong! One of my favorite friends is a Sigma Chi from there!

Aiya and UF56,
I would definitely pursue getting recs from DZ alumnae. I think they help the chapter to see your strengths and know how committed you are to their sisterhood even before you step through the door.
Good luck.

Aiya,
First I would like to wish you good luck!

If possible, try and get a recomendation from a DZ alum in your area. But don't panic if you can't! Like everyone else has said, BE YOURSELF! And, have fun! :D

Good luck and keep us posted!

I think if you are a DZ legacy you need to let the recruitment team know or your relative does. If DZ was handing out rec forms to other NPCs at UF then I think if you don't know a DZ then pick your strongest NPC rec and get it to the DZ team. Pick a rec from someone who really knows you well. Have fun!

I am not a DZ this is just my opinion.


Good luck to DZ !
