TotalNewbe - I like what FSUZeta suggested about talking to your DG friends about soliciting some of their other NPC friends' help. Also, the Theta cousin shouldn't (I would think) have any issue with writing your daughter a rec.
The real problem is that it is so close to the beginning of recruitment and that can be a problem when trying to get recs sent in quickly. I would suggest providing any and all info to your rec writers that can speed up the process - fax numbers, phone numbers of the recruitment advisor for the house (as a recruitment advisor, I fielded lots of calls from alumnae who were letting me know a rec was on its way) or even email addresses if you can find them.
Regarding the question about whether or not recs are necessary really depends on the campus. Have you been able to do a search on GC to see if it is a campus that has been discussed here? That might be of some help.
Also, I would suggest directing your daughter to some key threads on GC that could give her some insight into the process since she is getting started a little late.
Good luck and keep us posted!
