I have requested several letters of recomendation from a few people, but some are recent alums and don't know what to put in the letter, and what to include.
I think I write a darn good rec letter! Every mother has told me
that the sorority knew all about the girl when she walked in.
For example, you can say, I've known Sally since she was ten years old. OR, you can say,-When her mother and I worked on the cookbook for the Junior League, she would bring Sally. What a help she was...
You can give out a ton of information in a couple of sentences if you think about it. It may not matter a hill of beans in some places. In others, it makes a difference. THAT'S why you get the best rec from someone you actually know. THAT'S why, some chapters want to know what community involvement your parents had.
So, though this topic took a turn, all you who are in a position to write a rec, really think about what you say. I have a file on some of my better letters. That way, I can plug in the info that applies in a very positive, individualized way.
