What is a recommendation and is it needed?
A recommendation is similar to a job reference. It is a form written by a sorority alumna (graduate) to introduce you to a sorority chapter. An alumna wishing to write a reference does not need to be a graduate of the college you will attend. She only needs to be a member of a sorority with a chapter on that campus. The recommendation provides a means of introduction and does not guarantee an invitation to membership from that sorority. It is the responsibility of the sorority alumna who is completing the form to obtain, complete and submit it in the manner and time required by her group. Recommendations are not always necessary. Contact the college/university you will attend for their policy on recommendations.
