alabama recruitment

[gee_ess]

Speaking in general terms - and readily admitting I am not familiar with Alabama's recruitment, I have seen pnms send in transcripts with recs and it is no big deal either way.

Most, if not all, schools verify transcript GPA info for recruitment and send that info to the houses. But, it would certainly be fine to include an unofficial transcript with your resume and other info.

But, always be sure to verify this info with your specific school. (Like you are doing!)

Some sororities require official transcripts and some do not. I would rather see the entire package come together - it's too likely that the official will not get matched to the correct package when it arrives.

I would ask the alumna who is writing the rec. After all, THEY, and not you, will be sending the rec to the chapter. You can furnish the alum a stamped, addressed envelope...you can inquire if they sent off the forms...but it's downright tacky to get the rec from the alum and send it yourself.

I would certainly go ahead and give your sorority contacts resumes, pictures, and copies of the unofficial transcript (because it sounds like grades will not be a problem for your daughter!). Let them know you'll get them copies of the official transcript as soon as you have it.

Of course, you may be doing the contacting, but have daughter take them her info, write thank yous etc.

Much good luck to your daughter! Roll Tide!

Several of my daughter's recs came from teachers/coaches at her school and they all gave them directly to her, so she mailed them to the sororities. Some teachers offered even before she had a chance to give them SASEs, and some gave them back to her to mail anyway. So, if they hand them back to your daughter they probably just want her to see all the wonderful things they wrote about her! Also, a family friend handed it back to look at before it was sent. So, if they hand them back to you, they want you to see it yourself or they want to make sure it gets to the right place. Just smile and say, "Thank you!"
