if i know the pnm well, i always include a letter with the recommendation form and the pnms resume/photo. in a letter i can elaborate on the attributes that the pnm has that would be an asset to the chapter-musical ability, organization skills, time management skills, leadership skills. etc.
(listing those skills reminded me of napoleon dynamite-"nun chuk skills, bow skills....)

i can also explain any honors or scholarships she has been awarded-the name of the award alone does not always explain what the heck it is.

There's a ton of gangs at this school-they all wanted me to join cuz I'm good with a bowstaff....


HA!
Ok then I'm thinking I should send an addendum letter to the chapter. But will I look like, Crazy Alum Lady sending a bunch of different letters at different times??

i would think more like overworked, underpaid alum. lady.
