This.

That is what was recommended that I do when I went through the process, and what I have suggested to PNMs through the years as I have been helping them with recs. If it is just me that they are sending a packet to, then obviously I would never tell them to inlcude the note. In that case they know me, and would know how to send the note a little later.

But, if they are sending the packets through an alumnae panhellenic, if I have offered to have a friend do a rec for a group that they have been unable to secure, or if I am giving them general pointers for what goes in the packets for recs they are securing on their own, then absolutely I tell them to include the Thank You note in the packet. It can be as generic as to "thank you for taking the time to write the rec for me. I recognize that your summer is busy, and appreciate that you would offer to help. l look forward to attending ABC university and can't wait to participate in recruitment."

Easy Peasy.

And, as someone who has lived my entire life in the south, I have never considered Thank You notes to be unique to this part of the country.
