Thanks, you guys, for all of your help! I contacted local panhel where I live and talked to the nicest woman who is helping me to get recs for all chapters on my campus. Now I'm trying to find women I know most personally to get letters of support. I just had another question re: recs.

For recommendations, I have to send a resume and picture of myself that will then be sent to the sorority.

For the resume; I have already become really involved in campus- I love to be busy, and as a result I've joined as many organizations and been really involved with them as time would allow, leaving time to study and work so that I have a solid GPA (I'm a Journalism major and here its really important that you have a high GPA to get into certain sequences and classes). However, for the resume, should I include all the organizations I've been involved with/offices I may hold next semester, or should I limit it to a few? If I'm "too involved" on campus, will chapters think that I won't have enough time for Greek life? I'm pretty good at balancing my time and I know that I can handle it (it may mean that I don't hold leadership positions in certain organizations, or commit to a little less), but will chapters think this?

Also, should I include high school activities on the resume? I know that I will have been in college a year by the time of recruitment but I was really involved in high school and held a lot of leadership positions which I think may be relevant? I'm not sure though.

Also, for the picture- I had senior pictures taken; is it better to attach these, or non-professional photos?

Thank you so much for all of your help!
