It might be a chapter policy, but nationally I've never seen anything saying we do, and my chapter has pledged women who did not.

Alpha Delta Pi does... it could be they have a "backroom" alum writing them for PNM's before they issue a bid at schools that say they don't need them, but it is required.

Does that include UF? I offered to do a rec for a friend's daughter but they said they were told it's no longer a part of rush there?

Then why do they have the addresses for them?

Sigma Kappa does prior to initiation, but not prior to bidding.

KSUViolet06 · #13 07-31-2018, 12:50 PM

Sigma does not.

It could be a new rule from Florida Panhellenic, but our National Organization requires them. I think that I would send one for your friend's daughter because it could not hurt. Where I advised, the university does not allow recommendations, but we still got them and it introduced the PNM to us before recruitment began. We only have two parties before pref; so, it is very helpful to know people before recruitment begins.

I can't see how a university could control or would even know if a chapter used recommendations, because they're submitted directly to the chapter. How does that work?
