letter to a Potential new sorority member
Recent Graduate,
Are you interested in joining a sorority when you attend college? The Elmhurst Panhellenic Association would like to help. We offer a free service to write recommendations for Elmhurst women planning to go through membership recruitment to join a sorority.
College sorority chapters function as an extended family unit, providing a “home away from home” environment that encourages personal growth. During your college years, sororities emphasize and encourage scholarship, university involvement, leadership, philanthropic efforts, and lifelong friendships.
Each year sororities increase their membership through a mutual selection process called membership recruitment, which includes open houses and informal gatherings. Recruitment gives new students a chance to meet girls in different sororities on their campus. It also gives the sorority members a chance to meet you. The members of Elmhurst (Alumnae) Panhellenic Association offer to help Elmhurst residents in the membership recruitment process by writing letters of recommendation for the residents to the members’ sororities as an introduction.
This does not obligate you to go through recruitment, nor is it a guarantee of acceptance in any sorority. Remember, you still must register for recruitment with your university Panhellenic organization. Contact your university or check with its campus Panhellenic or Greek life office if you have not received any information from them.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
