Just be direct!
"Hi Mrs. Jones, I'm going to Big State University this fall and I'm going to go through sorority recruitment. I understand you are an Alpha Alpha Alpha alumna. Would you be so kind as to write a recommendation for me?"
"Why yes, I'd be honored!"
"Thank you! Here's a packet with my photo, resume, and school treanscript. I can e-mail you all this if you prefer. I'm very excited to meet the members of AAA chapter at BSU!"
She might also ask where to send the recommendation. Check your school's Panhellenic page for that info. Or you can encourage her to contact her sorority headquarters.
Good luck!
