quick ? about recs
 

Can actives write letters of recs or only alum?

Quick answer:

Some sororities allow it, some do not. But even if it is allowed you cannot write a rec for someone who is rushing at your chapter.

It depends on the policy of the national organization. Each NPC group is different. For Alpha Xi Delta, any initiated member (active or alumna) may write a recommendation.

I believe it depends on the sorority. I would think in most cases that an active from another chapter could write a rec, but it might not be given the same weight as an alum rec.

in zta, if a collegian writes a recommedation for someone, an alumna must co-sign the recommendation

For ADPi recs, either an alumna or a collegian in good standing may write one-- however, a collegian cannot submit a rec for a PNM who will be rushing at her chapter.

As has been said, depends on the group. The person writing the rec should know what the rules are for her group.
