Not sure where to start. First of all, schools do not require recs....the individual groups make that determination. I know very little about this campus and hope someone will chime in who does. That being said, recs won't hurt. Not sure how much networking you have done but the appropriate way to locate alums is to make a list of every woman you know who may have attended college. Keep in mind that all her teachers did! Include parents of friends, friends of YOURS, SS teachers, employers, athletic coaches, etc. Then ask them if they are Greek. If they don't belong to one of the needed groups or even if they do, ask if they know someone in the needed groups. Greek women know other Greek women. Then make a list of men you know - their mothers,sisters, wives,daughters may also be good contacts. In other words,network like a crazy woman. With only those five, it shouldn't be that difficult.

As for numbers, I'm not sure what you mean exactly but they due utilize what we call RFM (release figures methodology) and so will have a quota and total. It's designed to find a place for every woman who meets the membership qualifications of the groups. So, if your daughter "maximizes her options" (attends every party for which she has a time in her schedule), keeps an OPEN MIND, then she will match to a group at the end. Remember, they all have GPA requirements as well as civic involvement and other criteria so she should have an excellent GPA and a well rounded resume.
