RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Like extra credit. You can work on them, but don’t have to.
  • Chapters place differing levels of importance on them.
  • Must be sent in by an alumna member of that sorority, not

necessarily an Auburn graduate.

  • Are mostly submitted online, but can be done in hard copy.
  • The potential member should provide the alumna with a picture and
  • resume. Send a thank-you note later.
  • If a potential member has not secured a recommendation to a

sorority, she should not send out a packet about herself anyway.

  • If a sorority requires a recommendation to pledge someone, they

can find her one.

  • Not the official recruitment record.

slide-48

Don’t students with strong academics rise to the top?

37% of our potential members earned a 4.0 GPA or better in high school. 78% Earned other academic honors and awards.

DON’T BE INTIMIDATED

  • Not every potential member meets all of those criteria.
  • The average applicant met 4 of these ten criteria.
  • In fact, women who meet none of those criteria

participate in recruitment and happily join each year.

  • A mix of traits exists in each of our members and each
  • f these traits (and more) can be found in each of our

sororities.

  • The idea that “outstanding women” are rare at Auburn

and can be found only in one or two sororities is incorrect.

slide-53
SLIDE 53

Now is the time for a potential member to decide whether she wants to be a member of a particular sorority or a sorority member!

slide-54
SLIDE 54

RULES & REGULATIONS

  • You should not be contacted by strangers about

recruitment.

  • Before and during recruitment, a potential member should

not receive any cards, letters, flowers, gifts, be entertained by others, or have money spent on her that she would not

  • therwise receive.
  • From August 5-15 only, there is to be no contact between

a potential member and her sorority friends. They will all be busy with recruitment anyway.

  • This summer, a potential member can still maintain the

friendships she has with sorority members, as long as she is not being actively recruited by her friend.
