You can work on them, but don’t have to. • Must be sent in by an alumna member of that sorority, not necessarily an Auburn graduate. • Are mostly submitted online, but can be done in hard copy. • The potential member should provide the alumna with a picture and resume. Send a thank-you note later. • If a potential member has not secured a recommendation to a sorority, she should not send out a packet about herself anyway. • Chapters place differing levels of importance on them. • If a sorority requires a recommendation to pledge someone, they can find her one. • Not the official recruitment record.

serviceDON’T BE INTIMIDATED • Not every potential member meets all of those criteria. • The average applicant met 4 of these ten criteria. • In fact, women who meet none of those criteria participate in recruitment and happily join each year. • A mix of traits exists in each of our members and each of these traits (and more) can be found in each of our sororities. • The idea that “outstanding women” are rare at Auburn and can be found only in one or two sororities is incorrect.
Now is the time for a potential member to decide whether she wants to be a member of a particular sorority or a sorority member!
RULES AND REGULATIONS •You should not be contacted by strangers about recruitment. •Before and during recruitment, a potential member should not receive any cards, letters, flowers, gifts, be entertained by others, or have money spent on her that she would not otherwise receive. •From August 5-15 only, there is to be no contact between a potential member and her sorority friends. They will all be busy with recruitment anyway. •This summer, a potential member can still maintain the friendships she has with sorority members, as long as she is not being actively recruited by her friend.
