So far my rec writing has been limited to my area, meaning I have hand delivered them to the chapter and given them to the sister in charge of them. However I have noticed that some schools put on their informational pages to send them to a person or office, and not the chapter directly.
Personally I don't think the form I write for my sisters should be seen by anyone who is not a sister for various reasons. I consider that form, and the information it contains an extension of Membership Selection, which we all know is private. I am just imagining someone opening the mail (perhaps a student) and private information not staying private.
Has anyone here ever worked with a chapter at a school that suggests or attempts to require this method? If so, did you follow it or ignore it?
My school's panhellenic won't even tell us who the parents are and the student's address so that we can try to track down alumnae who may know her. So why should we give them what we've got!
Their concern should be that the person made a specific GPA.
I can see the definite possibility of the rec info being given out, verbally or not, to other Panhellenic members.
my daughter rushed last year and her school recommended that all recs. be sent to the panhellenic office. panhellenic would then distribute them. i felt that left too much to chance.
i felt uneasy about this, so all recs. for my daughter were sent to the appropriate person designated in the magazines of the sororities on her campus.

Some schools don't have sorority houses and the chapters have their respective mailboxes in the Panhellenic Office. Something to consider if you send something to XYZ Sorority in care of Campus Panhellenic.

That is sending to the chapter directly, though - it's their mailbox. VS's situation sounds like the school is saying "just send the rec to panhel and we'll get it to the chapter eventually."

In that case, some may feel more comfortable sending the form to the Membership Advisor or Advisory Board Chair to give to the Membership chair. I know I received a few each summer when I was ABC.
