Recommendations
 
How does this recommendation thing work? I know a woman who is an alum of a sorority, but her sorority is not at our school. Should she still send in a rec or do they have to be of the same sorority or chapter?

PenguinTrax 07-27-2000 10:50 PM
Recommendations must be from an alumna of the sorority. For example, if you know an alumna of XXX, but there is not an XXX chapter at your school, there is no need for her to write a recommendation letter for you. Most NPC groups will only accept recommendation letters or letters of reference from within their initiated membership.
A recommendation or letter of reference does not guarantee you membership nor does it guarantee any preferential treatment. Recs and letters of introduction are just a way for a chapter to "meet" you prior to recruitment.

Good luck!

If you have to go around telling everyone you're in charge you're not much of a leader.

What all goes in a reference letter and how long does it have to be

KSUViolet06 09-21-2007 02:32 PM
A recommendation/reference letter for NPC sorority recruitment isn't actually a letter. It's a form filled out by a sorority alumna on your behalf.

We have a whole thread here dedicated to recommendations for sorority recruitment:

http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ecommendations

Then there's this other one:

http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=53908

I suggest reading through them both, there's alot of good info about recs.

Is this for an NPC group or an NPHC group? (NPHC includes AKA, DST, Z Phi B and SGRho.) (If it is for an NPHC group, don't tell us which one.)

Where is your hometown? Most of the larger cities in Ohio have Panhellenic Associations that can help you. I am assuming you are from Ohio.
PM me if you don't feel comfortable posting it.

BTW...at OSU recs won't make or break you.

For this poster - I've said this many times, but you're going to get out of GC what you put into it. You give us a short fragment of a question, and you're going to get a short fragment of an answer.

I will have you know that no matter what kind of question is posted anywhere on this site, you will NEVER truly know who is behind it and why. I for one, have not been in college since 2003, during my collegiate years, I became a member of Kappa Phi Delta which has helped me develop my womanly and straightforward character, as an alumni, I try to help the many girls I know who look up to collegiate members of greek orgs and the reason I asked a question about OSU is because a friend (mentee) of mine who attends the school was too afraid to post just in case she became a PNM. I think that it is your kind of almost belittling rudeness that perpetuates common sterotypes about greek women and men, we are always seens as snobby better than the rest types and a response like yours only makes those kind of stigmas more prevalant to the outside community. In regards to what you said about getting what I put in FIRST OF ALL I am not trying to put anything into a website Im really too old to be playing around on, I was just trying to be a good person something that my sisters have taught me to be and if I thought there was going to be harm in me asking the question then I would not have posted it. And it was not a fragment of a question, if you know then there is a yes or no answer to the question there is no need to be pretentious about it. That is all I have to say, I don't even want to know your answer because I am going to choose not to tell my friend about my post I don't want her to have the same negative image of GLOs that you have represented in your post. Please represent your organization wisely. Thank You

Especially in comparison with what I would have said if I was really TRYING to be rude.

The search function is your friend:

Top Newbie Questions
GC Newbies should LOOK and NOT POST here

I usually like suggesting to new posters to lurk and get a feel of the place first before posting. It'll save you from wasting your time spouting off to longtime posters who really don't care what you have to say.

wow i can tell you still have a lot of growing up to do. When a person is being sarcastic and pretentious to someone who was 1. not talking directly to them 2. doesn't even know them; they are being rude. It is impolite to respond to people in the manner in which you responded to me, that is rude you know it and I know it and hiding behind a thread is not going to excuse the fact that you wont even apologize but instead made a another "smart-Alic" remark to try and cover your initial RUDENESS shows your immatureness and is a bad reflection on you and what you represent on this board. Check yourself.

and you may say that I am making an assumption about you by saying you are immature I dont know your age but from what i can tell all i can say is wow really...all this??

Since you said you haven't "been in college" since 2003, I'm going to assume that you actually applied and made it into a college...although maybe I shouldn't because it's obviously not showing in your posts.

There is a newbie thread around here. I think the applicable point here is that "If you think someone is being snarky to you, check their previous posts - you probably aren't special."

And I'd like to point out that you have no idea "what I represent on this board". OBVIOUSLY. Does someone want to clue her in?

SWTXBelle 12-01-2007 12:46 PM
Just an aside - there seems to be a trend of people decrying GC, and telling GCers to get a life, or something along those lines. From my rather disinterested perspective, I must say that there is a certain irony in posters who write looooonnnnggggg tirades about GC including these quotes, as it would seem that the poster would 1.)just leave GC since it is so horrible and 2.) get a life of his/her own, since the long postings would indicate lack of the same. Truly, if I went to a site that I felt was useless, I would not return to it again and again. Life is too short to hang around someplace on the internet you do not enjoy.

Hey, I got one too! Except apparently I'm a d*ck and not a c-youknowwhat.

For the record, freedomfly (sorry, I won't call you FF anymore, I thought that's what all the young folks do with the texting and whatnot these days), I was just making a plain statement of fact when I noted that the posts were deleted, I read through the thread, saw the quotes and noticed that the original posts weren't there except the first one. Then the first one disappeared. I found it curious. And honestly, I thought you were a different troublemaker before you PM'd me and made it clear you're the girl from Penn State that things went south for with the Father X discussion a week or so ago. My loyalty to Penn State doesn't necessarily have to translate to every single alumni, especially when I didn't know I was talking to someone from there to begin with (and when you're spewing online and reflecting poorly on "dear old state"). Please don't PM me anymore, I will not respond to you that way and will from here on out ignore als, freedomfly, the jolie thing, newbie thing, whatever you're logging on as now these days... say hi to Happy Valley for me.

Does anyone else think that she's really not in a sorority?

I have never heard a Greek woman call another Greek a sorostitute.

Also, she's claiming that some of you don't have degrees. [AlphaFrog, I believe, had her credentials questioned?] Clearly, she's unaware that you MUST be in college or have obtained a degree to be a member of an NPC or NPHC sorority.

Hmmm....

Actually, I DON'T have a degree. I started in Music Therapy, and decided after 3 years that it wasn't for me, and I had no idea what I wanted to do. Although I think it worked out better in the long run, because I now work in Construction HR & Accounting, and probably make more now doing that without a degree than I would have doing Music Therapy WITH a degree.

As far as being in an NPC, my sorority chapter was closed before I decided not to continue persuing Music Therapy, so I was already an alum before I left school.:)

You don't need a degree to be a member and remain as such, at least in my sorority anyway.

In order to stay a collegian, she must be enrolled full time on campus. If she leaves school for whatever reason (graduation or not), she's still a member -- an alumna.

I even recall reading in the Quarterly that our AI candidates need not possess a college degree in order to be considered for membership. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

A member is a member, college degree or not.

fantASTic 12-02-2007 08:26 PM
Yeah, sorry; what she actually said was that you hadn't gone to school. While not all sororities require a degree for AI, all collegiate members must have gone to school at SOME point as a degree-seeking student enrolled full time.

Better? :D
