Another thing that is really important for the whole sorority recruitment process is getting letters of recommendation from an alumna of the sorority. It just has to be someone who was a part of that sorority during their time in school and has graduated. If you are a legacy (you have a sister, mother, grandmother, or step-sister/step-mother) who was a member of that sorority they can indicate that on your letter of recommendation. One reccomendation for each sorority should be sufficient but sending more than one letter is definitely okay (I tried to send 3 to each sorority.)
In order to help the people who agree to write you a letter of recommendation you should prepare a resume to send to them along with a picture!
I really didn't know that many people who had been in sororities so I was not entirely sure how to go about getting letters of recommendation at first.
If you are having trouble getting letters of recommendation or are unsure of where to start this is what I would suggest:
- Ask your family members! Aunts, uncles, first cousins, second cousins, everyone!
- Family friends, or your friend's moms or sisters are also a great resource. I had some family friends who wrote me letters of recommendation and gave me other names of people to reach out to as well!
- Reach out to your teachers, many of them might have been in sororities in school.
- If you're still in contact with any old babysitters, or the parents of kids you babysit for, reach out to them.
- If you still need letters of recommendation, you can reach out to the local alumni association, I got a few letters of recommendation by asking alumni associations!
Seriously reach out to people! Most people are happy to help!
Today, I want to share this dress that I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! I went to lunch downtown with a friend and then we went to our favorite pumpkin patch to get doughnuts (they are seriously the best doughnuts I've ever had). This dress is so easy to throw on and its super casual, so I love it! It would also be easy to dress it up with wedges and a little bit of jewelry! Plus it's less than $30! I wore it with my Rebecca Minkoff Purse which is similar to this one from the Nordstrom Sale!

On Saturday, my mom and I went to a Taylor Swift Concert at Soldier Field in Chicago. It was seriously one of the best nights of my life. I have been a Taylor Swift fan since her first album and I know all of the words to all of her songs. I saw a concert on her Speak Now tour about 4 years ago and I was sad that I didn't get to go to a concert on her Red tour. A few weeks ago, my parents surprised me with PIT TICKETS for the 1989 tour in Chicago as a late birthday present. Taylor Swift is amazing live and she puts on a really good show with lots of dancers! Her openers were Shawn Mendes, who is incredible and only 16, Vance Joy who was also fantastic, and Haim. Her special guest was Andy Grammar and they sang "Honey I'm Good" together which was awesome! This was the best concert I've ever been to and our tickets were amazing, we were so close to her!!
WARNING: Picture overload!
