recs

by: Meagan   

How many recs would be considered too many? I have lots of Greek friends and family, so on some houses I have 5. Would this seem like overkill, or would it make it seem I'm very interested in the sorority?

That's overkill. One is enough. There are so many girls going through rush that it actually gets annoying if you have multiple recs for the same person to sort through

The Panhellenic website says two max. If you have more than that, you'll risk looking desperate, plus it just gives the sororities more paperwork. Narrow it down to the people who can give you the best rec possible to each house.

Where does it say two max on the website? I can't seem to find it. I always thought it meant at least two

Under the Recruitment tab then go to Letters of Recommendation in the drop down menu. In the second paragraph it says "While it is common to send multiple Recommendations/References to one sorority from separate alumnae; it is unnecessary to exceed more than two. Please use personal discretion when deciding on how many Recommendations/References will be sent on your behalf."

Hope that helps!

Would 4 be safe? I've already sent rec packets to many people and now I'm nervous that its going to affect me negatively

...of the PNMs I've done recs for had 3 or 4 and they ended up in sororities they love! I mean, if a sorority likes you, they aren't going to say "oh well, she had FOUR really great recs, let's cut her." Two is about the norm, but three or four isn't unheard of, so I wouldn't be stressing over it. The ones who need to stress are the ones who try to rush at schools like Bama with zero recs.

You really can't control how many recs you get. You can ask for them, but the sorority alumnae may share the info and someone else may want to write you a rec - which is perfectly OK.
Don't ever EVER turn down somebody offering to write you a rec!!
