<p>I have just taken my senior year pictures and have to get back with my photographer by Friday with how many prints of my pictures I want. I am planning on rushing next fall and I know that the sororities require pictures. I was just wondering how many pictures does each sorority require? I’ve heard three but I do not know if that goes for every one. If so that means I need to get prints of three pictures for each of the 14 sororities? or is that not how it works? Anybody that can give me any info on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much in advance!</p>
<p>Most of the sororities will want 2 or 3 pictures. A combination of full body pictures and head shots - so be sure to get some of each.</p>
<p>What size pictures typically? A wallet size or a typical 4x6?</p>
<p>Either size is generally fine; but as the other poster recommended, be sure to give the ladies who write your recs a good, clear headshot. That will be the picture most viewed by the sorority members. A full body shot is the second most important.</p>
<p>You will need a pdf of each picture also to attach to your online application.</p>
<p>So I have one online application that’s for all 14 sororities and on there I attach two pictures? So I do not need 14 copies of 2 pictures to send to them I just do it all online?</p>
<p>You will need to send a picture online, and you will also need hard copies of the pictures that will be sent to each sorority.</p>
<p>There are two completely different processes in play here. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>University of Texas Panhellenic Recruitment Registration (around May of next year) This is where you will need the PDF pictures.</p></li>
<li><p>Letters of Recommendation (LOR) This is where the “hard” copies of the photos come into play. Now I write LORs for many girls, but I prefer the resume, transcript and photos by email. I have many friends that write too, but they want a “hard copy” file sent to them. So no one could really say what will need. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>I encourage you to not spend the money to have your photographer reproduce the photos for you. That can be very, very expensive. If you can have the rights to three digital images that would be best. When my daughter went through recruitment, we owned the rights to the digital images and just had them reproduced at Costco for the hard copy packets. The quality was very good and these houses literally see thousands of picutres, they are certainly not judging the quality of the paper.</p>
<p>I also wrote many recs this year and to give you the other side of it, received all the pictures attached to the girl’s application. There were some where the girl photo copied her picture, which really does not make the same impression, IMO. I greatly appreciated that a resume was also attached in addition to the panhellenic registration form.</p>
<p>I was not refering to “copying” the pictures as in scanning them and printing them at home. I was refering to having a digital image and having them printed at a photo processor that is not the photographer. The photographer that took my daughter’s senior pictures charges $22 a copy for a 4 X 6. I think that is too much for this situation.</p>
