Do the more rec letters you have look good or do the sororities find it annoying?☺️

The more the better. Some girls get six or even more for each sorority.

I had one letter of recommendation for the sorority that I am in, and a letter of support. Granted it was from an alumni, and it was a really good rec but you don't need six. Girls I know personally had like 7 letters for KD and Chi Omega and they got cut.

The reality is, if your letter is good, that is really all that matters. Alums hold more weight.

Maybe, but having more Rec letters won't hurt you. There are so many factors that go into rush and who gets bids. I would never advise girls to stop finding Rec and support letters after they find one or two. Keep looking. You just never know what sororities are looking for, but no sorority will ever say "oh look, she has too many letters".

We tend to "throw out" the rec letters that are obvious "fillers". In other words, don't gather up a bunch of letters from alums you don't actually know who are only going to recite some resume information that you give them. We see right through those and they don't matter to us.

Try to get at least 12 strong letters of rec from alumni you personally know and y'all should be fine. For mid tier or higher, aim for 20 recs in order to stand out.

This is a bit overkill!

when I went through, our local Panhellenic reps told us one rec per sorority and between three to four letters of support.

Six to eight per house would be a maximum.

tends to get annoyed with more than one... just get one or two strong recs, keep your grades up, and you'll be fine.

You really only need a maximum of two per sorority. My chapter tends to throw out the letters of Rec with little to no merit.... So like if you have a rec letter from a woman from an irrelevant school, honestly we don't really pay that much attention to it. If it's an alum rec it holds so much more weight. I can't stress how much more weight your rec has if it comes from an alum.

By: Yeah
