recs

by: Seriously   

I am from out of state, non-southern.

I have had a girl from my high school who goes to Bama tell me that her recommendation letters really impacted the houses she got during rush. And the old row and top of the new row houses where she had recs kept her, but she was dropped by the houses where she didn't have recs.

She would have had a great resume on Grades, involvement, and dad's occupation, and she is attractive and put together and very easy to talk to as well

I have heard others say that if you have "all that", the recs don't matter

can someone shed some light if girls without recs get over loked despite their credentials or if they have a great credentials, it will get noticed anyway?

Get recs! Don't be reluctant to reach out to strangers. Contact your local Panhellenic Alumnae association. Most people know pnms need recs at Alabama and want to help. Why would you not get them if you know they will help?

Will they drop you for recommendations if you only have one for that house??

No all you need is one, but we always say to get two in case the first one forgets to do it, gets lost in the shuffle, etc.

I did find recs, but it is also hard to know if they actually sent them in. I did do the follow up. The thank you, etc... Beyond that, I am not sure what else to do. I also had a few not know what they were doing and send in an actual letter from what it sounds like. UGH!

is a rec from a random person from an alumnae chapter worth less than someone i know from my personal life? for many letters ive had to reach out to alumnae chapters from my state and others.... does this look bad?
