How should I go about writing a social resume for letters of recommendation?
 
I am in the process of writing my resume for my recs but I'm at a loss as to what to write about myself. I have written multiple resumes before in high school, but they were always focused on jobs and not sororities. I will be rushing as a sophomore, so should I write about my high school accomplishments? Should I include job experience? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Here is a thread on that topic, with some suggestions and examples:

You may be asked to submit a social resume and transcripts along with your recruitment application. This resume should not be more than 1-2 pages and includes the following info:

Your name
Contact info (permanent and school address, phone, email)
Names/Sorority Affiliations/Colleges of any Greek family members
HS attended/Year graduated/GPA
SAT/ACT scores
Year in school (college)
List any colleges attended and years of attendance
college GPA
Major/Minor
Honors/Scholarships/Awards (HS/College/Community)
Extracurriculars/School Activities (HS/College/Community)

Do not put your SSN on any of these social resumes!

The rest of the thread has some pretty good general information.

Hartofsec and Psi U MC Vito, thank you! I was looking for social resume advice on here but the browser wasn't doing me any good. Thank you for bringing these up for me!

I did a search online. First, "social resume" isn't what you mean, unless you're talking about building a social media presence. If you google high school resume, I think you'll find some advice and good examples.

Just make a list of your activities, honors, and, yes, jobs. No fancy sentences needed.
The only thing different that I like to see is your parents' names and if they were Greek, and if your sister or grandmother is Greek (for legacy info). If they aren't greek, you don't need to say so.

Yes, names of parents is helpful!

I believe the Austin Panhellenic has an example on line that is a good guideline. I'm sure a lot of other southern Pan's have them too.

I know Auburn Greek Life's web site last year referred to the Austin Panhellenic resume as a good example.
