Recruitment

Recommendations

Recommendations from alumnae are provided to sororities during recruitment to provide additional information about the members participating in recruitment. They are not required to participate in recruitment, nor for membership into any of the National Panhellenic Conference Sororities.

The Nashville Area Alumnae Panhellenic can help you in obtaining recommendations from sororities at your college or university. We ask that you complete the Master File Student Information Form and return to our Vice President so we can provide information about you as requested. Let us know what recommendations you are looking for and we can put you in touch with a local alumnae from that chapter.
