• Letters of Recommendation

This page has been updated as of April 7, 2022.

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, 2022.

Kappa Delta chapters do not require any of the optional recruitment forms for a woman to be considered for membership.
