From both sides: when I was rushing, several acquaintances of my parents got in touch with them, expressed their happiness that I was rushing, and that they were most happy to give me a good rec. Some were friends, some teachers, some friends of friends - but I was definitely checked out.
As an active, I was Rec Chairman one semester. You'll have some prior to Recruitment, mostly from legacies and friends of alumnae. If you have an alumnae group in whatever town that the pnm is from, let them do the work for you. When all else fails, contact her high school (if she's a freshman) and ask to speak to a teacher or guidance counselor. I only had one pnm flat out rejected - a bad rec from an alumna. I heard why much later (through someone who had gone to high school with her), but our rec sheets had a box to just mark "no" without any explanation. When I heard the reason why this particular pnm was rejected, I agreed that it was more than justified. (since I'm not mentioning any names, she had a criminal background)
