Fall 2009 Info and Help with Recommendations: Alumnae Panhellenics
 

This thread is about the information sessions put on by Area Alumnae Panhellenics, and the recommendation assistance the sessions may provide.

These sessions can be especially helpful to high school seniors (and their parents) who are not familiar with sorority life at all, or -- especially in the Southeastern U.S. and Texas -- who do not know much about the somewhat special aspects of sorority recruitment in those areas of the country.

I encourage other GreekChatters to post dates of sessions as they become available.

I also encourage potential new members (and their parents) to attend a session in their hometown area.

Austin Alumnae Panhellenic

Fill out the form below by June 1:

Paging Penguin Trax!

passioncreek, i will see what i can find out for you.

I have a few more Texas groups to report.
Dallas-Ft Worth Mid-Cities group which includes Birdville, Carroll, Grapevine-Colleyville, HEB, Irving, Keller and Northwest school districts are meeting on February 22 in Colleyville.. Info on www.midcitiespanhellenic.com and Coppell has their own individual panhellenic at www.coppellsororities.com I think Arlington, Lewisville and Carrollton Farmers Branch have individual panhellenics but not for sure of info regarding recruitment.

I hope so FSUZeta, I could truly use the help.

So far I can't find any information session for the Tri-City Tampa Bay area Alumnae Panhellenic. Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg often work together on this, but nothing so far this year. We have a meeting in a few weeks and I will let you know if I know anything.

If any PNM has any questions about this area, please send me a PM.

Boston/New England

We don't currently plan on doing any information sessions in Boston. However, if anyone from Boston/New England needs help obtaining recommendations, let me know and I'll try to put you in touch with the appropriate person.

Baton Rouge?

Does that mean the group is back up and running?

Huntsville/Madison County, Alabama

We're not as formal/structured as other cities' Panhellenics, but we have a handful of events/meetings each year and award an annual scholarship.

I'm glad that was brought back. I was there when it closed a few years ago. It was really sad, but there were no volunteers.

Nashville, TN

Are there any in the South Texas region (Corpus Christi)? Also, are these workshops just for high school seniors? And what is the purpose of attending them?

If you type in "Corpus Christi Alumnae Panhellenic" you'll find the contact for at least 1 person. This is what I found (it comes straight from the TTU website):

Are there any Miami Panhellenics here? I've been having a bit of a hard time getting in contact with them through e-mail.... :/

gatorgirl, let me get in touch with some of my friends in the miami area and see what info. i can come up with. when i hear from them i will send you a pm.

whoa! thanks a million ^_^

hey FSUZeta is there anyway that you could help me out too? I've tried getting in contact with the women at the Miami Panhellenic Alumnae but they haven't responded to any of my emails (i've only sent two promise).
i just want to be prepared for rush in the fall. you know, just in case any of the women would like to meet me in order to see if they would actually like to write a letter of recommendation for me. thank you so much (:

sherryzilla(and other miami-area ladies)-my friend is going to send me a link-when she does i will post it here.

It used to be that each high school hosted its own information session. I wonder why they moved it to the Yacht Club.

I used to write recommendations for local girls; after being given 70 one summer, I think I've done my share. :)
