letters of recs

What happens ?
Your opportunities are diminished

Does it matter if you don't have them for every house?
Yes.
Houses don't share recs. You need recs for each house from alumnae. They don't have to be Bama alumnae but they do have to be alumnae of each sorority.

the thing about recs is it tells them how good of a sister you will be. if you can't even take initiative to help then how can they count on you down the road? It is a measure of how much you really want to be in greek life.

You can find them for ALL houses, you just aren't looking hard enough. You need to contact sorority alumni orgs in your hometown or the closest hometown and ask them now. Your local alumnae panhel can help too. If you know a woman involved in her own alum org, chances are she knows alums in other orgs, especially if she's super connected.

A generic form is the lazy way out, you have a few months, pound the pavement, sorority alums are everywhere and with google and a few hours you should be able to find some who can help you.... just make sure to ask nicely.

Those faculty/counselor recommendations are useless. Sororities only look at recs from their own alumnae. Nothing else matters.

When nearly 3,000 people are going through the process, women will only get to meet a fraction. They will be voting during their membership selection based on the resume qualities, and what their friends and alums have to say about a member. THE EASIEST WAY TO GET CUT FROM AN OLD ROW OR FIRST CIRCLE HOUSE IS TO NOT HAVE A REC. And by rec, I mean a real rec that actually says that you are really, really awesome and the alum really wants to see you wear her letters and gives us info about you and your family that you can put on a resume.
