What is a Recommendation Letter?

  • What is a recommendation letter?

     

    If you are considering participating in Formal Recruitment this fall, it is important to start thinking about letters of recommendation. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of each sorority to obtain a recommendation for you. However, if you can provide these “recs” for the sorority, you will maximize your own success with the recruitment process.

    A letter of recommendation should be provided by an alumna of a sorority. This woman may have joined her sorority at MSU or at any other college or university in the country. Ask your teachers, guidance counselors, church friends, mothers of your friends, etc., to see who you know but may not realize are Greek.

    Each national sorority organization has its own recommendation form. The alum can obtain this recommendation form by going to the sorority’s national website and printing it off. Typically, it is a good idea to submit a copy of your transcript, your resume, and a picture when asking someone to write a letter for you. The recommendation should then be sent directly to the sorority here at MSU. The addresses are provided below.
