If I contact the local panhellenic alumnae, will they give me a list of everyone in my area who was in a sorority, or would I only be able to get a list of just a couple of women? I feel bad for asking them to help me for every one of the soroities I listed!

That's one of the things they do. i believe that you send in your information and they have women from each sorority at UT who will look at your resume, transcript, photos or whatever information that they ask for on the alumnae panhellenic website and they choose whether to write a rec. for you on not. I am not sure that you even meet with them in person, but texas alumnae, please correct me if i am wrong.

Oh so they do not give me a list of alums, but rather contact alums for me?

I find it funny how you feel bad about contacting them but have no issues asking the women of GreekChat for the same.

Perhaps the difference is that contacting them is more official and serious; and she cannot contact them as a random and relatively anonymous username.

i don't know. i live in florida. as 33girl and many others have said, contact the proper alumnae panhellenic association in the houston area, listen to what they have to say(or read what they have written), and do what is expected and required of you.

Let's be clear on this, though. If the reference chairman for my local group called me and said "Do you know wldms? She goes to the high school at which you teach music, and her resume says she plays six instruments" and I said "yes, I do", I wouldn't think "awesome, I can write a rec to help her out", I'd think "hmm...she didn't try very hard to find sorority alumnae on her own."

YMMV.
