All of this is good advice. Here is one thing that can't be stressed enough:

I would just add to this:
Almost every chapter will drop you after the open house set if they do not have at least one LOR for you. While an LOR will in no way insure you will be invited back to the second set of parties, not having one will insure you won't be invited back to most houses. This applies to all PNMs, even you.
Get an LOR for every single chapter, even the ones you are sure you would never think of joining. Recruitment is hard and often does not end up the way you expect it will. Those chapters might be the only ones who keep inviting you back, and your only choices left .... and you wouldn't even have those options if they'd dropped you after the first set because you didn't bother to get an LOR.
