Letters of Recommendation

Letters of recommendation and reference forms are NOT required to participate in Panhellenic Primary Recruitment at Georgia Southern.

However, these materials can help introduce you to chapters before recruitment begins and may provide helpful context about your background, values, and achievements. It’s important to note that letters of recommendation do not guarantee an invitation to events or membership in any sorority.

Each sorority has its own official form and process for submitting recommendations, typically available to alumnae through national websites or sorority publications. It is not the responsibility of the potential new member (PNM) to secure or submit the actual form鈥攖his should be done by the alumna or collegian writing the recommendation.

The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Georgia Southern does not provide or collect letters, but we do provide the appropriate addresses and contacts for each chapter below.
