From what I have learned on here, the whole "recs are the end all be all" scenario is foreign to the west coast. So you may have a hard time finding recs and getting these women to understand how important they are for your success.
Start compiling a list of women who are alumnae of the groups on your campus, reaching out to them to let them know you are planning to go through recruitment, etc. It may take a while to find 3 - 5 for each house and have them mailed in by July 1.

Regarding the bolded, depending on where you are on the West Coast, there may be SEC sorority alumnae living in the area. I am in the Bay Area and there are quite a lot SEC sorority alumnae here. Greeks, in general, tend to be involved with their college alumni associations.
So not only could one contact west coast panhellenic alumnae groups, try contacting SEC Alumni clubs or chapters in/near your area as well. There should be a listing of chapters on the school's alumni page.
Also, University of Southern California (USC) alumnae know all too well about recommendations. And they don’t all live in Southern California.
