There is only 1 organized alumnae group in town. The rest of us pay the $10 dues, get the collection of info forms and write recommendations with interested members of our own group.
We have one alumna who represents her sorority. She refuses - well, declines - to participate. She says she'll write a rec on girls who ask her directly, but she doesn't want to pay the (pitiful!) sum of $10 to participate with our panhellenic and get the package of all the girls' information packets.
To me, this is so rude! Come on - maybe YOUR chapter has PNMs pushing in the doors to join. Maybe your members know every teen-ager in town. But most of us don't know them that well and these forms are a godsend.
Is there anything I could do or say that would encourage her to join us? I hate telling our hometown PNMs that we can help them with all their recommendations when we have this one holdout.

She said she'd do it if they ask directly. Give them her contact information and tell them to ask her directly.
