FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who should write a sorority recommendation letter?

A teacher, coach, employer, or alumna who knows the PNM well and can vouch for her character, academics, and campus involvement. Family friends are discouraged unless they held a formal role like her volunteer supervisor.

How long should the letter be?

One page, 250-400 words. Chapters skim hundreds; concise paragraphs with bullet achievements are easiest to digest.

Can I use the same letter for every sorority?

Use one strong base, then tweak the closing line to reference each sorority's core value-e.g., 'I believe her leadership aligns with Alpha Phi's commitment to sisterhood and service.'

What if I don't know Greek terms?

No problem-focus on universal traits: integrity, academics, service. Skip jargon; chapters translate your points into their lingo during voting.
