Alas, I'm no longer doing recs for UT -  - but our panhellenic asks for 2 good pictures - head shot and full-length - but that is 2 per packet. Our pnms fill out a packet for each chapter represented on our Panhellenic and the packets go to the individual sorority rec chairmen. I can't imagine why anyone would need more pictures than that. Also bear in mind - no pets, no multiple friends in a pic, no boyfriends, no lying on the railroad tracks (yes, we got a picture like that a few years ago - you don't want to be train girl).

Man, I always say its an act of God I got into a sorority. I knew nothing going into it. My picture was one of me feeding ducks! I wonder if they called me duck girl. Haha.

Last year I got a recommendation packet from a Texas alumna for a hometown girl going out for recruitment.
The packet had a sheet with 4 separate pictures, all different. Two were pretty much face-to-waist, different poses and outfits, and two were full body in different poses and 1 outfit that was the same as one of the close-ups. Nice Sunday-type dress, casual-but-dressy, and nice jeans and nice top.
She also included a sheet with about a dozen different pictures of the girl at some sort of Christmas party with underprivileged kids.
The resume pages were tied with a colorful fabric bow.
Yeah, those Texas recommendations are over the top, and always have been. I've heard of pizzas delivered to a sorority house with a candidate's face on the box lid, a giant popcorn tin plastered with face and name  ...these were sent by the sorority alumnae.
33girl, this is not "40 different and unique pictures" for 10 sororities. It would 4 different and unique pictures. A set of these would be sent to the 10 sororities. It IS confusing if you're not familiar with the practice.
Yes, Greys darlin', you were probably "Duck Girl." Not a bad thing...at least they remembered you!

Could have been worse, the picture could have shown her with one end of a rope around her waist, the other end to the engine of a train trying to bring the train toward her. (think about it  )

Don't feel bad. Pretty much anything you do/story you tell during recruitment will get you a nickname like this :-) It's just a way to remember girls, and done with the utmost love.

I'm rushing at Auburn in the fall and my local panhellenic association required that I submit FOUR pictures! I honestly thought it was a little weird at first, but it's worked out pretty well.
You don't need to go out and get a professional photographer, but just choose a few pictures that you think you look best in. I was advised by the local group to use one casual shot, a shot of me in one of my favorite activities, a senior portrait, and one where I was little dressed up. They also said to make sure I was alone in the pictures and blah blah blah. Maybe you don't have to go with four pictures, but I thought those guidelines were pretty helpful.
