letters of recommendation for recruitment

You don't need a letter from an alum of a sorority that we don't have. Standard is to get atleast on rec letter for every sorority. If you're very interested in a certain sorority or if you just know multiple alums from a certain sorority you should get more letters. The additional letters are sometimes referred to as letters of support instead of rec letters. Get atleast 2 for the top sororities/ the ones you're very interested in.

Oh, sweetie, no. Here's how recs work:

1. You need to find 1-2 alumnae of the sororities we have at A&M to write recs for you.
2. These women do NOT have to be alumnae of the A&M chapters - ie, a UT Zeta alumna or a SMU AXO can write your recs for A&M Rush.
3. The rec writers will send your Rec directly to their sorority house at A&M. This means that a DG alumna will only send her rec to the DG house. A DG can't write your Kappa rec. Also, someone from a sorority that isn't on A&M's campus can't write you a letter at all.
4. You'll need to make a packet for each rec writer that includes your social resume, 2 5X7 pics (headshot and full body, classy pics not prom or swimsuit pics), and your transcript. Don't forget to write them thank you notes as recs take a lot of time!
5. Pick the sorority alumnae who know you best. Those women will write the strongest recs!

Get refs they will help you so much, especially if we don't know you!!! We really want to know who you are & what you've accomplished!
