Although its not that competitive would it still be wise to get recs?

Yes, go ahead and get recs. If no one shows up here from UAB I'll ask the sorority women I know how important they are, but I imagine the situation is similar to my campus: it isn't as crucial as it would be at a competitive school, but it's certainly worth your while to get them. You'll stand out in a positive way before you even get there. Since there are so few chapters you have plenty of time to find connections before you show up for recruitment. You've probably seen this, but just in case:

I have relatives that go there, and they love it! I've only met members of the Alpha Gam and DG chapters, but they were all really sweet.
Plan a campus visit: once you know where everything is it's easy to get around and you have so many choices for food/entertainment/academic resources right there downtown. Visit Al's to get lunch while you're there!
