Letters of Recommendation
This page has been updated as of April 12, 2023.
Chapters would like Letters of Recommendation to be sent to chapters beginning on June 1. If you have already sent in letters of recommendation, don't worry! They will not be discarded.
Letters of Recommendation are simply letters of reference written by an alumna of a sorority to her sorority’s chapter at the University of Arkansas. It is appropriate and highly encouraged for you to obtain your own letters of recommendation. You can begin this process by informing friends, teachers, and relatives that you are participating in formal recruitment at the University of Arkansas. The alumna can either write a personal letter of reference or obtain a standard form from National Chapter Headquarters. Many local Alumnae Panhellenic Associations will also provide forms to women. The University of Arkansas Panhellenic Council does not provide these forms.
Letters of Recommendation must be sent directly to individual chapters as directed below. Any letters must be postmarked by August 1, 2023.
Alpha Chi Omega
Delta Rho chapter of Alpha Chi Omega does not require recommendations, but if you
know an alumna who wishes to write you a recommendation, they may do so by following
the link provided using their Alpha Chi Omega login. Having an optional recommendation
does not guarantee an invitation of membership. If you wish to fill out one of the
recommendation forms, follow the instructions at the link below once you sign in,
and submit online. Or you can mail/email it into the provided addresses if you prefer
paper or via electronically.
