Writing a Rec for Someone You Don't Personally Know

[joliebelle]

I agree with PP to talk to her to find out what happened to make her drop that one activity. I think one good question to ask is really what she hopes to get out of her sorority experience.
I just wrote a rec for a PNM that I have never met. She provided me with an information letter about herself that really answered any questions that I would have had about her. She has also completed one year of college, so there was a lot for me to write about her.

Someone else also stated this above - I did talk to my neighbor (the one that recommended her) and she had a very good reason for dropping out of it. It is also not sensitive - although I won't mention it here because it is unique enough that someone *may* remember her from it if they read this. Thank you all so much for the advice!
