RECOMMENDATION LETTERS 

What is a letter of recommendation? 

A recommendation is a personal letter of reference written by an alumnae member of a sorority to introduce a potential new member to her sorority. In the recommendation, the alumnae will write about your activities and talents so the sorority can get acquainted with you before recruitment begins.  

 

Do I have to have letters of recommendation to go through recruitment? 

Recommendation letters are not required to go through recruitment. Not submitting a letter does not negatively impact your chances during the recruitment process. Each year, there are women who join chapters without securing any letters of recommendation prior to recruitment.  

 

We encourage you to register with your local Panhellenic Council. They can help you with the letters and our chapters find it very beneficial. The best way to find your local Panhellenic Council is to Google your hometown and then Panhellenic Council. For example: if you're from Kingwood, TX, then you would Google "Kingwood, TX Panhellenic Council".

​

When is the last day to submit Letters of Recommendation?

The last day to submit a Letter of Recommendation is September 17th, the deadline to register for recruitment.

​

 

 

If you would like to provide the chapters with recommendation letters before the deadline, please reach out to chapters regarding their recommendation letter policy.​​​​

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Panhellenic. You can reach Haley Woodall, Panhellenic's Vice President of Recruitment at hpc.recruitment.uh@gmail.com.
