We have had an issue here in Dallas where there are businesses that put together rec packets for girls. This includes writing "tweaking" the resume, selecting the proper stationary (Usually focusing on the school they are attending but some even go in for colors of some chapters and... the one thing that has the backs up of some of our chapters' Alumnae Reference Boards, includes a copy of a RIF or Reference Form or whatever they are called for each chapter. They have gone so far as having the girls ask for the name and address of where the reference should be sent here in town. Our alumna know whose porch to drop off their references. From information I have received from other sororities reference boards it is very concerning. It has been expressed by some, and I concur, that once the information packet leaves the hands of the PNM their job is done and it up to the alumna to do her job. Asking her to e-mail you or send you a postcard when it has been sent is too much. Writing a nice thank you note several weeks after she received the reference packet is more than enough!!! My rant!
