While on the idea of recommendations, alumnae shouldn't forget to check out that university's recruitment policy regarding "closed contact", meaning alumnae and collegiates aren't supposed to have a lot of contact with a PNM except for Panhellenic-type settings.
For example, according to West Georgia's recruitment rules,
alumnae, along with current members, are responsible for all of the recruitment rules. The recruitment rules includes the Closed Contact policy, which states:
From the conclusion of the Spring Semester preceding Fall Semester until Fall Formal Membership Selection ends on Bid Day, all sororities shall follow the closed contact policy. Closed contact shall be defined as conversation between individual sorority members and potential members which shall be limited to Recruitment events and simple recognition of potential
members outside these events. Violations of this definition shall include, but not limited to, blatant contact with potential members, inviting potential members to visit member houses, apartments or chapter hall, extended conversation outside of recruitment events and related contact.
BTW, Cutie..Florida is a "Southern" state even though there are a lot of residents who were born/lived the majority of their life in the "Northern" states but grew tired of the cold, etc.
