Alabama Recruitment

[Sciencewoman]

I would like to know how involved the sororities were in implementing this new option...I'm guessing it wasn't conceived and announced in an administrative bubble. Maybe the chapters feel this is another option to get more information, especially with the increase in out-of-state PNMs. One of the PNMs I wrote a rec for said that none of her suitemates secured recs.

The "hep" PNMs will probably make sure they have a glowing "academic" rec uploaded, along with 2 recs for each sorority....

Perhaps -- it would potentially provide a lead for an alum in the PNM's area to contact if asked by a chapter to write a rec. Interestingly the suggested topics to be included in the "academic" letter tread more so into the areas of character, which would be the resume area not covered in the online rush app.

It will be interesting to see how the suitemates fare. Maybe the efforts of the PNM you know will raise their level of concern!
