[quote=Anonymous]I was just writing a recommendation for my Asian granddaughter who is going through rush in the fall at a college in the South, and the National web site prominently featured an article on their focus on increasing diversity. I’m guessing my sorority is not an isolated case. Looking at the web page of the sorority at her college, it’s already a pretty diverse group.

Most have done away with the requirement for a recommendation from a former member, but it doesn’t hurt to ask around to your friends and see if anyone was in a sorority in college. If they agree to write a recommendation, your daughter should send them a resume, a HS transcript and a photo. The sorority will also ask for social media addresses, so make sure your daughter’s social media doesn’t include stuff she doesn’t want them to see (this is good advice for anyone going to college). Recommendations are done on line now, and it’s pretty easy, so most alumni are happy to help.

FWIW, I had to think about it, because it wasn’t a big deal at all, but I had Hispanic sisters in my sorority in the South in the 80’s, and things have changed immensely since then. If your daughter wants to do this, and you can afford it, I wouldn’t worry about this too much. [/quote]
