Don't worry about which sororities may have recruitment in the spring -- you have a lot to do meanwhile to prepare for the possibility of a successful recruitment in 2017, and even more importantly, a positive and productive freshman year.
You might consider making some contacts now (like teachers before you graduate), and asking these alums to write recs in the future, especially if you are interested in spring recruitment (you will not know months in advance which chapters are participating).
It takes a lot of time to secure two for each chapter, and it would probably be easier to provide some mature reasons for delaying recruitment than to ask these same alums twice (assuming an unsuccessful fall 2016 recruitment due to grades). And a lot of the alums you ask to write recs will not have an optimistic view of your fall 2016 chances -- just like us.
If you involve yourself on campus, those sorority women you meet may be the ones responsible for an invite to a spring COB event, or the ones who are familiar faces and advocates in the chaos of an enormous fall recruitment when you are a sophomore.
Since my previous post suggesting you research campus involvement, I tripped across a resource I didn't realize we had --
The Office of Student Involvement.
AND there is even a link to the "Top 5 Ways to Get Involved at UA
Before Arriving on Campus!" Check it out -- this will make researching campus orgs and involvement easy. (and hey, see #5 -- they point you to Freshman Forum!
):
