obtaining rec letters

by: YAYYYYJul 10, 2013 4:47:24 PM

So I am not sure if this is the place to ask this but I need some hellppp. So, if I don't know many women who have been in a sorority that makes getting rec letters a little more difficult. The PPA also from what I have heard does recs differently now. They used to have you contact them and they would send you a list of women who you could contact about writing a rec letter for you, but not anymore. What would your suggestions be for PNM's who want to get rec letters in this predicament? Do the sororities contact the PPA during rush to see if they have any information about a PNM? Should we contact the actual alumni sorority chapters individually? Like the Kappa Kappa Gamma Phoenix alumni for example or something? Or is it not even worth it to go through all of the trouble?

Thanks very much. :)

Getting recs to every chapter on campus can't hurt. I would start by talking to women you know: Mom's friends, ladies at church, old teachers, etc. More women than you probably recognize are greek. Get letters from women you know first, and then contact local alumni chapters for the houses you don't know any women in. Big tip: don't announce that you only want bids from abc sorority and aren't interested in xyz sorority. Alumni typically view that as a negative attitude going in to rush. Be kind, and if a woman does write you a letter, send a thank you.
