University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment 2013

[OleMissGlitter]

I've viewed every type of "rec" you can imagine as a past chapter advisor. The handwritten letters from a 90-year old alumna are by far the best, those are special in my opinion. The "rec" form that each NPC group provides for alumnae to use is the best (I think). Some have online ones now. I know this year I have asked anyone who needs a rec to send me their information in "electronic format". I did send a typed rec to Alpha Phi when they were colonizing at Alabama. A young lady I knew was going through and she didn’t know any Alpha Phi alumnae and none in her area. So I typed it as a fellow NPC alumna. I know every now and then those can appear.

As far as why the Panhellenic doesn't want their transcripts...I am not sure why they don’t want them. I have heard about PNMs doctoring up their transcripts. Personally, I’m not sure why University Panhellenics don’t check grades when they register using ICS or other recruitment database tools. But I’m sure that’s because of FERPA and other laws and plus that would probably be a headache at larger schools where you have 1000+ PNMs going through recruitment. So just my two cents

Thanks for all the advice and information. Daughter put together a stack of packages to mail or deliver to the women who have offered to write recommendations. We've got 2-3 for each sorority, so hopefully all the ladies will get the recs in on time. Most of them only do a few each year so I don't think we are in crunch time yet.
Thanks again for the help.
