It is kind of you to want to help your cousin, but sorority recommendations are only to be submitted by alumnae in good standing to their chapters on that campus or to their national. It helps, but is not necessary, that the writer personally know the PNM. Most sororities have forms for this purpose that are accessed by password online. They are generally not letters and I am afraid that a chapter getting a letter from a PNM's uncle touting her qualifications might subject her to some ridicule. Sororities, after all, are women's organizations and Panhellenic guidelines even prohibit fraternities from participating in Panhel recruitment. You can best support her by helping her identify alumnae women from each of the sororities present on that campus, if you know any in her area. She can also get them through an Alumnae Panhellenic in her nearest city. One to two per group is all that is necessary.
