Also, I'll be going through as an upperclasswoman (2nd year) and have freinds in most of the sororities, so they do already have a good idea of who I am. I have a good lead on a rec for one of the chapters, but the others are proving tricky. Should I just take the one, or should I give up on all of them?

I know that the sisters at my school (one that was described by agzg to a tee) wouldn't know what to do with a rec. If you have good friends in some of the chapters, ask them what they would suggest. Ask them about their personal experiences when they were in recruitment, whether or not they had recs, and how influential they really are (without asking for membership selection details).
