Many orgs do not accept recs from active collegians.

Really? I thought there were more orgs who do allow their collegians to write recs than those who don't.

Alpha Gamma Delta collegians are allowed to write them. If I'm not mistaken (and I recall reading this somewhere on GC), Kappa Delta does too. I thought I saw a list of sororities that do allow recs from collegians, but I couldn't find it.

I don't know the breakdown, but PNM's should be aware that in some orgs, a letter from a collegian would be considered a "letter of introduction", not a formal rec.

ASA allows collegiate recs.

Actually, Kappa Delta only allows recs from alumna members.

Correction:

Kappa Delta allows recs from collegiate members for women going through recruitment at other schools. This has been in effect since at least 2005 - maybe a couple years longer.

LOL...it was your post correcting someone else about the KD rec policy that I remembered reading!

Likewise for Kappa. I am under the impression this the policy for many organizations that allow collegiate members to write recs.

Phi Mu does not. I would be surprised if we are the only ones, but either way, the PNM should make sure that the woman writing a rec is really in a position to do so, that's all.

We once got a rec from a woman who had turned in her badge. Um....?

Sorry for getting off track, but how did you know about her badge? Did she volunteer it in the letter or does everyone check the status of the women who submit recs? (I had just never thought of this before, and it's interesting. I guess you'd have to check so people didn't fake them, maybe, but it still surprised me.)

However, those initiated collegians can assist in putting the PNM in contact with local alumnae.
