What a shame that honesty still isn't the best policy.

NPC Resolutions
Reaffirmation of the National Panhellenic Conference Resolution on Letters of Recommendation

Resolution 7 10/10/2009

Whereas, The responsibility for providing references and/or letters of recommendation (subsequently referred to as letters) for potential new members rests with the members of the National Panhellenic Conference;

Whereas, Membership is not necessarily contingent upon letters received from alumnae; and

Whereas, Potential new members are sometimes told that it is their responsibility to seek such letters in order to have a successful recruitment;

Resolved, That individual NPC member groups clarify this responsibility with their membership;

Resolved, That NPC area advisors clarify this responsibility with College and Alumnae Panhellenics;

Resolved, That any recruitment information distributed through College or Alumnae Panhellenics contain nothing that implies that letters are to be secured by the potential new member; and

Resolved, That remuneration from the potential new member or her family for any such letter is inappropriate.
