Some info for Bama and probably other campuses as well.

- Panhellenic used to require each PNM to submit 15 copies of pix to be distributed to each sorority along with your application. They stopped doing this because they didn't want to deal with the paperwork and since registration is now online. Any pix sent to Panhellenic will now get trashed.

- Pix and transcripts are not required, but they are definately appreciated. Pix help the Chapters to identify the PNMs going through. Transcripts are useful especially if you attended a school that has a unique grading system (as opposed to a standard 4.0 or 5.0 scale), was a difficult college prep-type school, or you took alot of honor classes. It helps the Chapters to understand a PNM's GPA. Transcripts don't have to be "official", but it can't be typed list of grades that anyone could create. (I've actually seen this.)

- If you have someone sending a Rec in for you, they can submit these for you. If you don't you can send them yourself.

- When selecting which picture to send, please choose wisely. It should be tasteful and show the PNM in the best light. (no pun intended) A standard head shot style is usually the best. This can be your senior pic but it doesn't have to be. It doesn't even have to be by a professional photographer. A standard wallet size or 4x6 will suffice. Please no 8x10s. Also, don't send group photos and expect the Chapters to figure out which person you are. Some PNMs send in multiple pix which isn't necessary. One is plenty, two is fine, but more than that is pointless and they'll probably end up in the trash.
