My advice would simply be to mention that you're rushing. This can easily come up in conversation. Most likely your teacher will ask, "Oh, do you know if ABC has a chapter at your campus? I LOVED being an ABC." If you have ABC at your school, your teacher will probably offer to write a rec. Usually, if a teacher doesn't want to write a rec they won't mention their affiliation. This way, you don't have to ask them, by saying you're rushing you're giving them an opportunity to offer you a rec. Just be sure to read up on which orgs are on your campus so you'll be prepared should you get an offer from one of your teachers. Good luck! Teacher recs are great because they know you well not only as a person but as a student.
