At my chapter we, like many of you, do the pearl ceremony at least that I can remember. When I rushed there was one house that had their prefer write a letter to the PNM telling them why they would be a great asset or member of ABC...of course they had to do this without promising a bid. This sorority had the best turn around rate after their pref ceremony. I think that having your own personal letter really speeks volumes to the PNM's. I think it would be neat to try this idea out.

ETA: the girls got their letter in their gift bag on Bid Day as a momento.

We wanted to do this but decided against it. There were too many Panhellenic rules and it seemed like an infraction waiting to happen. If we did them, they couldn't have the PNM's name, couldn't promise bids (directly or indirectly), and the PNM couldn't leave the house with it or it would be considered a "gift". With 60 sisters, we couldn't risk anyone not comprehending the NPC rules and accidentally putting the girl's name or letting her keep it. So we scrapped it.
