Letters of Recommendation & Legacy Statement

Letters of R E CO M M E N DAT I O N

Recommendation letters are not a requirement to participate in recruitment at SFA.

Recommendation letters serve as an introduction of a potential new member to a sorority. If you choose to submit them we ask that they be provided to the chapter(s) before August 1st to ensure that they have been received prior to the start of primary recruitment. Each sorority manages their recommendation/reference letters differently. For questions about recommendation or legacy introduction forms, we highly recommend that you review the chapter’s website or contact the national office of that particular sorority.

A legacy is defined differently by each sorority. In the past couple decades many sororities’ legacy policies have changed, so we highly recommend that you reach out to each respective sorority’s national office to determine whether you or a loved one are defined as a legacy and what preferences that may provide during recruitment. It is important to note that being a legacy does not guarantee you a bid into any of the chapters on SFA’s campus. The sorority is not obligated to offer a bid to a legacy, and a PNM is not obligated by anyone to commit to a chapter where she is a legacy. It should be the PNM’s choice and her choice alone as to where she feels comfortable.
