newbie,
I don't know what recruitment is like at UCD or UCI. However, at some schools where recruitment is ultracompetitive, I think it helps to have rec's where possible.
What I would do is ask your friends, who might have older sisters etc, who went to college, did they go Greek, and can they write you a recommendation? Same with your high school teachers...maybe your teachers are not Greek alums, but maybe they know someone who is. Same with people that you might have known from Girl Scouts, etc. Ask, because you never know. If you know that someone went to college, ask if they went Greek or not. I am a believer in DIY, because this is of utmost importance to
you, no one else.
Secondly, if you want to make it easy for someone to write the recommendation for you, it never hurts to procure the blank Recommendation Form yourself, then you can just give them the form straight away if they say yes, they'll do it. Many of them have the forms on the National Website, you just have to click around and hunt them down. Some might be behind password protected areas, but many of them are not. So happy hunting and Good Luck.
P.S. I wanted to also mention/clarify that Sigma Alpha is not one of the 26 NPC groups, so I would imagine that they would do their own recruitment, outside of formal recruitment.
