Check the stickied thread on the Sorority Recruitment page -- "Schools where you absolutely, positively need recs."

If you need recs (my guess is that you will,) ask former teachers, professors, coaches, advisors, family friends, church members, etc. Include men in your inquiries because their wives, moms, or sisters might be sorority members. The local alumnae association can also help, but you would be best advised to start with women that you know.
Women who come from out of state can have successful recruitments at competitive southern schools. That is speaking as a generality -- the specifics will come down to your particular campus and its chapters.
