They thought I was better off going without letters so that I could choose the sorority right for me and with sisters who like me for who I am rather than having the letters help me out.
Let me know if you hear anything more! |
I think that is very odd advice you received from your teachers and I feel as though you may be a bit confused about the purpose of rec letters. Recommendations letters do not guarantee bids. Heck, they don't even guarantee an invite back to the next round. The purpose of recommendation letters are to introduce you to the chapter before recruitment gets underway. At a school like U of I where there is regularly over 1200 PNMs, recs are very helpful. While they are definitely not necessary, having them would be advantageous. If you can get them, which it sounds like you can, then you definitely should.
