Recruitment at Mizzou

Also, some sororities allow actives to write recs, so long as the active is not at the chapter where the PNM will be rushing. I'm not sure whether Sigma Kappa and Sigma Sigma Sigma are among them, but if they are, perhaps your daughter has a friend who went to a different school and joined one of those sororities and is still an active?

Please listen to her.

It's her rush.

THIS.

She may call you, ecstatic that she got a full schedule. She may call you in tears because her favorite chapter cut her. All you can do is listen to her and cheer her on and urge her to keep an open mind and keep smiling. And, hopefully, she'll be calling you on bid day with some good news.

And, yes, wine is your friend, but don't overdo it!

Sigma Kappa allows actives to write recommendations, even for the chapter they are in

I do not know Delta Gamma's current policies on actives writing recs. I do know back in the Stone Age, we had one day during rush when we'd write recs for the women we were hoping to pledge.

Call around? Nope. Research? Nope. All pre-internet, of course. We'd just write 'em with what we knew. It bit us once during my four years. But that was a high percentage; we pledged no more than 4-5 a year, and never had more than 25 members at once. Then. I'm happy to report things have changed for that chapter, and school!
