All of the things you listed are positives; good GPA, lots of involvement, freshman standing. Don't worry about not being a legacy. Any App Staters (or those more familiar with App State) correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there are tons of legacies going through at your school to the point where a chapter would have to choose between their legacies and PNMs they liked better.

Side note: At some SEC schools, being a legacy can actually work to a PNM's disadvantage! Some chapters may immediately cut other chapters' legacies because they don't want to waste time with someone they don't think will end up pledging their chapter. Plus, if the PNM gets cut by her legacy chapter, she might not have too many options left.

Try to start locating sorority women about getting recs, as they definitely can't hurt, but I don't think they'd be vital at App State (any App Staters correct me if I'm wrong).

App State doesn't strike me as the most cutthroat school, so keep an open mind, let your personality shine, and hopefully you'll find a home. Plus, there will be a sorority colonizing there soon, so that is one more option to consider.
