Recs -- How Early Is Too Early?
Hi All -- I do recs for a lot of PNMs. I have for years, and because of the area I live in, most of the PNMs are going through recruitment in the SEC. I also know, and talk with, a lot of alumnae from various Panhellenic sororities who send in recs.
Regarding fall recruitment, we usually send recs in during the summer...after the PNM has her final high school GPA (or spring semester GPA if she is already in college.) This also allows for all end-of-year honors/awards/activities to be included on the resume.
I have seen a couple of posts out here recently where it's been mentioned that some sororities are already receiving recs for Fall '13. I'd really like input as to whether or not these early send-ins are becoming common and if it's advised/preferred. I also get asked fairly often by PNMs how soon is too soon and want to advise correctly.
In my experience, summer has always been "rec season" for fall recruitment, but if that is changing, I'd love to know.
So -- what are the thoughts on this?
