If I were you, I would not use the cheerleading pictures. I was a cheerleader in high school, so I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but some people just don't love cheerleaders. The sororities will use your pictures as a way of recalling who you are, and if all they have to go by is that you're a cheerleader, that might not work in your favor. It really just depends but I think the safest thing to do is to use a normal headshot picture.
Since you are 5 pictures short, I would recommend having your mom or a friend take a roll of film of you. Do your hair and makeup, and wear something classic and not too casual. Find a pretty location (probably outside) and have them take lots of shots of you from the waist up. In a whole roll of film, you should be able to choose at least 5 decent-looking pictures to submit for rush.
I think someone else said that you don't need formal pictures for rush, and they were right. Last year, my sorority got a mix of formal photographs and ones taken by a normal person.
One other hint--make sure you (or other rushees reading this) don't submit informal pictures with more than one person in the shot. It can be hard to tell who's who.
