One does not always get Recs from current sisters at the college your daughter may attend. I mean, you CAN, if you know those sisters really well and their organization allows that kind of thing. (Not all sororities function the same when it comes to who can write Recs. Some are alumnae only, some are alumnae or active collegiate sister at a different school, etc). However, it is absolutely not necessary to meet current sisters at the college she chooses to go to in order to get Recs. Have your daughter talk to her teachers, parents of friends, friends from church, friends who graduated a few years ago, etc. This is how one gets Recs. Network within your OWN community. Not the community in Tuscaloosa (or where ever). There are also Alumnae Panhellenic organizations all over the country that have members who are happy to write Recs for girls in their geographical area. So if your daughter has a teacher who was an AwesomeAlpha at Iowa University, she can write a Rec for your daughter for the AwesomeAlpha chapter at SEC U. If her grandmother is still around, SHE can write a rec for her sorority for the chapter at the school your daughter goes to, even if Grandma didn't go to school there.
You CAN do this. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
