Dontcha love help???
Your recommendation letters (though they might not be letters, but forms specified by the sorority itself) should come preferably from alumnae of that sorority who know you. If you don't have women who know you, women with whom you share information, in the form of a resume or an interview, will often write for you. Many times these are facilitated through local panhellenic alumnae groups. Some NPC groups permit recommendation from collegiate women; some don't. So ... recommend you contact your local alumnae panhellenic if you don't know alumnae from each of the sorority on the campus you wish to rush. |
You may already be in contact with sorority women who could write recs for you. Find out what groups are represented on your campus and ask relatives, your parents friends, teachers, people at work, church etc. if they are sorority alums. At the same time, as DGTess says, contact the panhellenic alumni group in your area.

posted this in another thread about recs and I thought it might be helpful if I posted it again here:
Girls, understand that getting recommendations can be difficult, especially if you don't live in an area with lots of greek women or you don't have many greeks in your family. It just takes persistence. You have to exhaust all of your available resources & contacts. Think of EVERY place you go regularly where there are women who know you well. Any of them could be a sorority alumna. Some of these places include: *school (teachers, counselors, coaches) *church or other place of worship ( sorority women might attend your church service or lead your bible study) *camps you attend(ed) (your camp counselors might be sorority women) *work (co-workers or their family members might be greek) *your parents (their co-workers or friends, get their Christmas card or email lists out) Also, you can even ask the MEN you know. For example, your dad's bowling buddy might me married to a sorority alumna or have a daughter who is Greek. Good luck ladies! |
