I hate to be Debbie Downer about this, but this "she didn't have the form" seems a little questionable to me. Most, if not all, NPC sororities have recommendation forms on the members only side of their websites, so I have a hard time believing that your friend "didn't have the form."

Also, recommendation form =/= recommendation letter. But hey, if your campus is one where recs aren't absolutely necessary, it may not even make a difference.

if her friend is a recent graduate, she may not be savvy as to her sorority's national website. she may not even have signed up as a sister on the website,may not have joined an alumnae chapter yet and her sorority magazines may still be going to her parents home, so i can see her not having a recommendation form.

good luck to you OP.

Indeed. The first time I tried to access my national website, they wanted my member number, and I had no idea how to get that, so I had to e-mail someone for it, and it took a few days.
