What if I Need Assistance with Recs?
As a reminder Potential New Members are NOT required to secure recommendations in order to receive a bid. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the sorority to obtain a letter of recommendation if one is needed for membership. While letters of recommendation are not required to participate in recruitment; PNMs can reach out to sorority alumnae or an Alumnae Panhellenic for assistance. If you choose to seek out Letters of Rec, you are only encouraged to secure one to two recommendations per chapter.
Helpful hints for securing recommendations:
If you are looking for an alumna to write you a recommendation, think about family members, teachers, friends, coworkers, members of your religious/spiritual affiliation, etc. Professional service and civic groups like the Junior League, Charity League, and Rotary are also good places to look. If you start asking around, you will likely be surprised at how many people you know that were Greek while in college.
For additional assistance with letters of recommendation, please visit the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) Alumnae Panhellenic Locator Map, and select Alumnae. This website houses contact email addresses for each Alumnae Panhellenic in the United States. Reaching out to the Alumnae Panhellenic in your hometown is a great place to start!
As a reminder, when seeking letters of recommendation for recruitment, we suggest no more than two letters be submitted for each of the 17 National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities that participate in primary recruitment at the Capstone. They are: Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Phi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Mu, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma Kappa, and Zeta Tau Alpha.
