1) The Chicago Alumnae Panhellenic is not exactly a well-oiled machine, to say the least. It has kinda operated in fits and starts the last few years, and not all groups participate. You can take a stab at contacting them, but don't be surprised if it is a bit of a dead end.
2) Most (all?) groups have an alumnae presence of some sort in C-U, and you may have better luck contacting a group directly. You aren't specific about "Central Illinois", but many groups also have a presence in Peoria, B-N, etc.
3) I'm not going to say recs aren't required, because I am not privvy to the membership selection policies of any group by my own...HOWEVER, many women sign up for U of I rush once they have already gotten to campus and still have successful recruitments. So, you should do your best to secure recs if you can, but don't sweat it if you come up short on some groups, nor should you let it affect your decision-making during recruitment.
