Explanation of a Letter of Recommendation
A letter of Recommendation is a brief overview of a prospective member to a specific chapter. An alumna of a chapter represented on KU’s campus can write a letter of recommendation for any prospective member. The alumna will give a brief description of the prospective member and will explain why that woman would be an asset to the chapter.

Is it needed?
A letter of recommendation is not required by Panhellenic to participate in recruitment. However, a letter of recommendation can only help a prospective member. Each individual chapter has its own requirements for letters of recommendation, some chapters require letters and others do not. You can try and find an alumna to write a letter of recommendation for you, but if you can not find one, do not stress. There are plenty of women who participate in Recruitment who do not have Letters of Recommendation and still have a great recruitment experience.

Where do we get the Letter of Recommendation forms?
The alumnae member writing the letters should know that their chapter forms are available through their National Offices, in their National magazines, and even on their web sites. The alumnae members are only able to get the forms, so let them know, if they do not know already, where the forms are available.

How do I get in contact with an Alumna to have her write me a Letter of Recommendation?
The easiest way to contact a woman to write you a letter is to start asking around among your friends and family. Chances are there is someone in your community that would love to write you a recommendation letter. Ask your neighbors; ask your friends’ mothers; ask your mother’s friends; and ask your teachers at school. If they are not members of a sorority they may be able to put you in contact with someone who is. Networking is the easiest way to come in contact with an alumna of a chapter.

Where do I have letters of recommendation sent?
Please do not send letters of recommendation to the Panhellenic Office! See below for a list of addresses where chapters will be receiving letters of recommendation. The letters should be sent by the alumnae who are writing them for you and should not be included with your registration materials.
