As I believe someone suggested, with your nannying job you could mention to your employer that you will be attending Great Northern U. in the fall and will be going thru sorority recruitment. You might then say that you have been working on getting recs. for each sorority at GNU and so far you have "X" toward your goal of "Y". That might get the ball rolling and hopefully at that point she will jump into the conversation and say,"Well, I was an ABC at CollegeDowntheRoad. Do you need an ABC rec.?" If she doesn't take the bait, just politely ask her if she is a sorority member, or if she knows any women who are sorority members.

And definitely have your sisters ask their friends if they can help you with recommendations. It would be helpful if you gave your sisters a list of the sororities at your school, and highlight the sororities which you still need recs. for. After your sisters make the initial contact, you take it from there.
