TexasCutie clearly stated the dynamics going on where she's from. It's similar to many black communities where graduating from high school is a huge feat--going to college is a God send--going Greek is not thought of or is laughed at as unrealistic. TexasCutie made the mistake of identifying her issue as a Hispanic one but it really is a subcultural issue.
She is really late on the bus with this one, however I don't think non-NPC organizations should be recommended to anyone because many of these organizations are not "last ditch efforts" for those who "want to belong to something." If she really wants to rush NPC, she will struggle to find out how to get the recs and see what she can do to make it happen in her 4th year. If it can't happen, maybe she's not meant to be in an organization at all.

You're right and I agree. I don't think she should go the non-NPC route as a last ditch effort. However, if she really wants to be in a sorority for all the right reasons, her efforts might prove to be more useful pursuing another route. From what I've read in the DST, AKA and other NPHC forums, there are women who try two, three times because they truly want it and pursue it (and this is even for graduate chapters). The OP does not have that option for NPC recruitment. I don't think she should go the non-NPC route just to get accepted somewhere and be in a sorority.
