If she choses to write a rec for me, how will I know? And will I have to send it to the chapter or will she? Because I read on GC that after I send her my materials that I should stay out of it.
And to just throw another question in, I will be rushing in the fall at a Texas school, I'm aware that I'll be needing recs, but should I get one for each chapter, or is that too much?

The local alum will forward it on to the appropriate chapter. You may or may not know if she sends it unless one of you two follows up with the other.
Just a suggestion...when sending it to her, think of it as sending a resume. Indicate that you will follow up in one week to see if she has received it and if she has any further questions. Beyond that, I wouldn't press her other than to thank her for assisting you.
It's no secret what is on the recs. All of the Panhellenic websites have their recs posted for the members to print out.
Since you are in Texas, and I won't ask what school, I would recommend you get them for as many chapters as possible. Most Texas schools are competitive, and this will give you an edge with during recruitment.
Good luck.
