Panhellenic Recruitment Handbook

The Panhellenic Recruitment Handbook is your go-to-guide on all things recruitment. Inside you will find round details, outfit inspiration, chapter information, and so much more!

Letters of Recommendation

A recommendation serves as your introduction to a sorority and gives its members a chance to get to know you before the start of primary recruitment. A “recommendation letter” is supporting documentation that an alumna of a sorority can complete on behalf of a student interested in joining a sorority.

You are not required to secure recommendations to receive a bid. While letters of recommendation are not required to participate in recruitment, PNMs can contact sorority alumnae or an Alumnae Panhellenic for assistance.
