An alumnae refers to a woman who has graduated from her undergraduate institution and is a member of a National Panhellenic Conference sorority.
If you have a close relationship with an affiliated sorority woman, indicate to her that you are going to participate in primary recruitment at Texas State University. Request that, if she has time, she would appreciate it if you could fill out a recommendation form on her sorority's website. Make sure to provide her with your resume and a brief letter explaining why you are seeking to join a sorority.
If you don't know any affiliated women, search for the Panhellenic Alumnae Association nearest to you. Reach out via email.
