Chio Lu is a current advisor and will be a more current resource, but recs were never very common when I was an active member or recruitment advisor for my chapter at UCLA (circa 2000-2010). And by not that common, I mean that typically less than 10% of PNMs had them.

If I were you, I'd focus instead on the following:
-Providing a thoughtful and complete application for recruitment, including a photo. Please don't list every single club membership or minor award - stick to the big activities and accomplishments. Give the chapters some insight into your interests, hobbies and leadership potential.
-Cleaning up social media.
-Reaching out to older women you might know at UCLA (orientation counselor, etc.) and saying that you're interested in recruiting, asking if they have any advise. PLEASE NOTE: if one of these women is Greek, she won't be allowed to talk to you much, if at all. But your reaching out may give them a head's up to look for you during recruitment.
-Getting outfits together (with cute, but comfy shoes).
-Practice conversation when you can.
-Prepping for school in general. The first couple weeks of school will be a whirlwind, especially with recruitment. Spend some time relaxing and try to get a mental handle on diving right into those classes. The 10-week terms move fast!

If you still want to try for them, ask around your family friends, teachers, camp counselors, and any former classmates or team mates who are a year or two older. Have your resume and a headshot ready for each rec writer, and provide a mailing address (or even better - a stamped envelope). Let them know that this is a last-minute request and that recruitment is less than a month away.
