asking rec writers

by: pnm

Is it bad to ask rec writers if they know anyone else who can help you with letters for other houses? I am currently struggling, I have reached out but failed to get responses from some alum groups:(

No! Go ahead and ask them! I found my aopi rec by asking my kappa rec writer to help!

I found my pi phi rec by asking a theta.

Happens all the time. Most ladies are happy to help you have a good rush!

I just want to make sure I word it right. For the sorority she wrote me a letter for, she thinks I REALLY want it, when the truth is I will be happy in any house that I fit in. How did you word it to your rec writer?

You could say I REALLY want your sorority, but I still want to keep my options open and make sure I have a good rush! We all understand! If your Rec writer understands anything about ole miss, she will understand your need to keep your options open!

Totally, that is how I found a lot of my recs. Also, try to find a panhellenic alum group, they are a little better at hooking people up, at least where I live. Just make sure you are super polite and thank them, otherwise they might not help you.

It happens all the time!!! That's how I found most of my recs!! Even if you already have one for each sorority, ask away! The more the merrier!
Just make sure that you send a thank you letter. Say "Thank you so much for helping me with my ABC rec! I'm so excited to rush!! You have done so much for me, but I am struggling to find a rec for XYZ house. If you could help me find a rec for XYZ that would be amazing! Again, thank you!"
