Watching my daughter struggling to find rec writers this year has motivated me to become more involved in our local alumnae panhellenic chapter.
In our region, recs are normally done after a PNM has pledged, so the concept of her getting 2 rec letters per chapter is relatively foreign up here and has been met with some confusion. (I certainly don't think it's an unwillingness to assist as much as it is unfamiliarity with the system.) Actually, had it not been for GC, I would not have been familiar with the resume/rec prior to recruitment...so thank you.
She has actually had more success by finding facebook pages for individual sorority alumnae chapters in the area and doing "cold calls" with ladies who do not have private profiles, than going through the normal channels. (Although she risks being the "freaky facebook stalker," she has actually gotten positive responses thus far by thinking outside of the box.) LOL.
She secured about 6 recs through ladies that we know, but going through our local panhellenic to attempt to locate other ladies has not been helpful.
So, even though there may not be a large number of PNMs in our area that need recs prior to recruitment, I'm going to offer to become more involved and attempt to focus on that area, along with some recruitment prep. (Hopefully the local group will be receptive.)
