The more people you know from different chapters, the better. My chapter loves it when we get these letters, as it helps us to have some background information on a woman going through recruitment.
Good luck!

As someone in the Pacific Northwest, I disagree with you. They don't hold the same weight as they do in the SEC, but they are common enough at my school it has been mentioned on the Greek Life pages. I've been approached by women for them, and they are very useful for chapters, especially for women who are from other states and no one was in Girl Scouts, Rainbow, Job's Daughters, or attended school with them. I have no idea where you attend school, but at schools with larger systems (University of Washington, Wazzu, Idaho, Oregon State) they are likely more important than at Boise or Idaho State where there isn't as much of a residential presence and a large formal recruitment. They are also probably not as important at Albertson, Whitman, UPS, Willamette, and Linfield as those students are at private schools and you don't have a woman with less than a 3.0 going through like at some public schools, or one who is the first to go to college in her family and therefore the first to participate in Greek Life.
