You need to be contacting alumnae in your home area and I'm not clear on where that is.
For moms of friends, etc when you call them, tell them what you need and ask if they could meet you to go over your resume and transcript. If they say no, just send it, then that's fine. They may want to meet you. Offer to meet at Starbucks or wherever and buy them a cup of coffee/tea. SEND A THANK YOU AFTER! Hand written - not email.
As for the groups you need and don't yet have, check the national website for each group and see if there is an alumnae group in your home town and contact them. Also, when you find someone - mom of friends or whoever - that will write you a rec, ask if they know anyone in the other groups you need. That's perfectly acceptable to do. And preferred over a blind rec.
