Yes!!
I've been tempted to attach to my recs a self-addressed, stamped envelope with a note enclosed that says:
"Dear SydneyK,
Thank you for your time. We value your input on the future of Kappa Delta.
Recruitment has ended and Rachel Rec (choose one): A. Was offered a bid and excitedly accepted it! B. Was offered a bid but declined. C. Was not offered a bid.
Again, thanks for your time. We know you're busy and appreciate your willingness to help. We couldn't do it without support from our alumnae.
AOT,
Whatever Chapter"
I obviously wouldn't ever do that, but there are times when it feels like tackiness is the only thing that gets through.
Thanks, DaffyKD, for reassuring me that I'm not the only one who feels this way!
Now I'm wondering if the lack of response/thank you note is a generational thing? Do any chapters send hand-written notes these days? Heck, I'd even settle for an email letting me know the outcome!
