Going Greek but really confused :S

I am moving to the US for university from Canada and I thought joining a sorority would be a great opportunity to dive into college life and find a group of girls who you can really connect with. I also like the idea of supporting a philanthropy because I love community service projects. But the university I am going is apparently very competitive and recommendations are strongly advised. I have never heard about recommendations in Canada and I have no idea where to get them. Can someone help me and point me in the right direction? I have no idea how this works :S Thanks so much!!!!!
