Hi orchid!
33girl is right on the money - it's great that you are thinking about this right now. Typically you would register with the Panhellenic alumnae group in your area to begin with, which is a great way to get recs. Also, you might let your HS counselor know that you are planning to rush -- he/she could then let faculty who are Greek know.
There are also the following venues:
employers, parents' friends, relatives, older classmates from your HS...
I do not recommend ASKING anyone to write a recommendation for you. It can really put someone on the spot. The way to handle it most tactfully and gracefully is to mention that you are going to be rushing at Alabama. (and since you are approaching your senior spring you will have plenty of openings to work that info into conversation, since everyone and their dog is going to be asking you if you are excited about college!!!!)
Then they will take it from there!
Good luck - be sure to let us know how it turns out!
