Questions about Recommendations?

If you are in the Atlanta area, here's our Panhellenic: http://www.atlantapanhellenic.org/

Since I only wrote my first rec earlier this year, I originally thought I just needed to write a glowing letter to support the PNM. I was surprised at the amount of detail the official rec form wanted. Don't sororities already get GPA and extracurricular info in the rush registration? I couldn't fill out ALL of it, but was able to do most of it. Heck, even for girls I know really well I prob couldn't fill out the whole thing. O.o

Not always. Some schools only give name and hometown and maybe the high school to the chapters. And of course, if she meets the minimum GPA to sign up for recruitment if they have one. So, you need that.

And if you couldn't answer all the questions on the form, YOU need to ask some questions! Since you know now, you should be able to have that info available in the future. It's not bad form to ask around - even about people you already know.
