MAILING RECRUITMENT PACKAGES:
Recruitment packages
cannot be taken or mailed to HAPA (HAPA no longer has a mailing
address).
Recruitment packages should only be mailed, delivered, or
emailed to the women writing letters of recommendation (RIF/REC)
or letters of support (LOS).
Most sororities and Rec. writers prefer to have packets emailed
to them. Check with your Rec. writer for her preference.
Letters of support writers generally send their letters to the
Rec. writer so that she can compile the entire packet (there are
exceptions - check with the committee members listed on the
RECRUITMENT INFORMATION menu).
ASKING FOR LETTERS OF
SUPPORT/REFERENCE LETTERS:
The Houston
Alumnae Panhellenic Association (HAPA) strongly encourages
Potential New Members (girls going through recruitment at their
chosen university) to adhere to the May
1 deadline for submission of recommendations
and letters of support to all universities nationwide,
regardless of their recruitment dates and/or posted recruitment
deadlines.
This May 1 deadline is to help PNMs going through recruitment at
universities nationwide to maximize their options with early
exposure to collegiate chapters. It is also out of respect
for the time spent by the alumnae women of HAPA who work
tirelessly on behalf of thousands of PNMs.
Ask your mother’s friends, teachers/staff, church/place of
worship friends, neighbors, those you work/babysit for, and
friends who are older and already in sororities…these are all
great resources.
Remember, a personal recommendation is always best! If
your residence is not in Harris County you should contact the
alumnae panhellenic where you live.
Tips for finding references:
-
Find out which sororities are on your campus, those are the
ones you will need references for.
-
Check with your friends who are going through recruitment,
ask them who wrote their recommendations.
-
Check with teachers, neighbors, friends of your parents,
moms of your friends, church friends…you would be surprised
how many women are in sororities.
-
If you have friends who are currently in a sorority at a
university, ask them.
