Updated with information for Alpha Phi on June 24, 2024.
“Letters of Recommendation are simply letters of reference written by an alumna of a sorority to the chapter at the University of Arkansas. This reference can also be written by an alumna of a sorority from another university.”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, 2025.”
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Chi Omega's recommendation process is 100% online at www.alphachiomega.org. A letter of recommendation is to be submitted on the Alpha Chi Omega Headquarters website by an alumna. We highly recommend at least one letter of recommendation.

Having an optional recommendation does not guarantee an invitation of membership.
