Write an article based on this "Get information about the applicant's professional experience. Ask about the applicant's academic awards. Find out about the applicant's hobbies. Ask for general information from the person you are recommending."
Ask the applicant to give you some details about her work history. You need to know what kind of professional experience she has that could assist her in her life as a sorority sister that you could reference in your letter. For example, if she volunteered or worked at a nursing home this would be a good thing for you to know so that you could mention it in your recommendation letter. An important thing to mention in your recommendation letter is any academic awards that the sorority applicant may have received. These kinds of awards bode well for applicants so it will be very beneficial for you to mention it in your letter of recommendation. Many sororities give preference to applicants with excellent academic achievements. Since applying to sororities can be so competitive, it may be necessary for you to mention some of the hobbies of the girl for whom you are writing the recommendation letter. This could be one of the only things that sets her apart from some of the other applicants. Some examples of hobbies that are worthwhile to mention include any kind of leadership or service experiences, volunteering to help others, or playing a musical instrument. Compile a list of all of their awards, activities, interests, hobbies, and academic honors. Interview the girl to ask why she wants to be part of that particular sorority and ask for any qualities she thinks she possesses that fit in with the needs and expectations of that sorority. Gather a picture of the candidate as well.
