I think that DG may have a particularly strong network for that- I was surprised to learn when I showed up at recruitment that they had a reference for me at DG- I hadn't asked anyone for one since I didn't know any DGs (so I thought). But they'd found a high school teacher who knew me well- and this was several states away from my hometown.
Some chapters don't require recs from all of the ladies that go through recruitment--I know that my chapter did not get recs from a lot of girls, and we still accepted many of them. I think it depends on the Panhellenic Association and school environment.
