I have to agree with everything that is being said. I will say that, if you get a recommendation from a teacher, school counselor, or principal, there is a likelihood that person may be Greek. In that case, that would hold much more weight with me than if you were never in a sorority or fraternity and said, "Patty PNM would be a great addition to XYZ sorority." Now, if you can say, "As an initiate of ABC sorority at State U. and the current school counselor for Patty PNM, I am well acquainted with her abilities to multitask and make great friends. I believe she would be a great addition to XYZ sorority because she is very involved in community service and would work hard to raise money for your national Pets R Us philanthropy." That would mean much more to me.
Simply saying that you think Patty PNM is a great addition to Greek Life at Competitive Rush University when you were never Greek and went to a commuter school with two sororities, does not give me faith that you are aware of what being Greek at a major SEC school entails. I think that this statement from the University of Alabama does give false hope. Whose idea was this?
