Thanks! I just finished writing the 'letter' part of the recommendation. It's a page long and basically, I tell them how I know her and why I know she'd make a great Alpha Chi.
I talk about how she'd make a wonderful, loyal sister and an inspiring leader and tie in stories and examples I've witnessed from work (true dedication to her job, loyalty to the company, etc).
I then go on to tell them why I personally think she's so great (which basically fulfills all of the membership standards) and how I continue to be impressed by her.
So, while I don't specifically include how she would meet each membership standard, I do make it fairly obvious in my praise for her. "She's one of the smartest, classiest and most down to earth girls I know. She's extremely personable, incredibly mature and easy to confide in..." as well as the paragraphs about work ethic, etc.
I feel like I may be pushing too hard, though. Is that possible? Should I be focused more on pushing her to Alpha Chi or to the Greek system in general? I say things like: "I think I have bonded with her more than anyone else because I truly see her as a sister. She is someone I would want in my sorority and someone I would be proud to see wearing the letters AXO." Is that okay- or does it cross the line?
Sorry for the seemingly stupid questions! I just want to make sure I don't push TOO hard and end up hurting her.
