The individual writing the letter of recommendation does not have been a member of Greek organization; however, the letter should speak to your character as it applies to leadership, scholarship, community service, and friendship. Please note that this is an optional feature and as such, is not a required part of the online application form.
• Supplemental academic letters of recommendation can be uploaded directly to the PNMs online recruitment application in Innova Campus Director or they can be mailed to the Alabama Panhellenic Association at the address provided below.

What a COMPLETE waste of everyone's time. I think this gives false hope/ assumption to a PNM who thinks that this will work instead of an actual recommendation from a sorority alumna. Hopefully PNMs will understand that this is not an acceptable substitute.
