How Moms Should Treat Their Legacy Daughters

[BAMA2]

Check out Alabama's recruitment website. It has an excellent section on recs. It tells PNMs that they should get them for all 15 sororities. It also explains what they are and what they are not.

As to girls who still need recs for SEC schools (other than Vandy and Ole Miss who have deferred recruitment), it may be almost too late. Most members are heading back in the next week or so to prepare for rush. The last thing many of them are going to want to deal with are last second recs!

Also while you're looking at that, check out the "Greek Chic" booklet that the PNMs get. It is really well done.

What Bama has on their site is a great way to explain it and it also has CYA language for Panhel (i.e. you don't need recs to participate, which is true, since rush is a Panhellenic-held function). It just kind of tickles me how so many of these large schools thumb their noses at the whole "no frills" concept, why they wouldn't also do the same for the whole "telling rushees they need recs" matter.

Compared to how they used to do recruitment, this IS no frills!
