Please note that while potential members can seek out letters of rec; it is ultimately not the responsibility of the potential member to obtain a copy of the Recommendation/Reference Form for the alumna or collegian. Also, please be advised that the UA Panhellenic does not have access to individual sorority Recommendation/Reference Forms; however, we can assist an alumna in securing a copy of the recommendation form, if she is having difficulty obtaining one (See FAQ’s tab on our main page).

This is much like saying that a PNM does not have to exhibit proper hygiene, manners, etc when going through Recruitment. It's necessary, but they're not going to mandate them for fear of sounding elitist. The trouble is in the interpretation: they say you don't need recs but omigosh, are you messed up
without them!
I certainly didn't go through SEC Recruitment, but we all
knew that some behaviors and attire would guarantee not receiving a bid!
