1. I cannot speak for all sororities. I will simply say that recommendations are always a good idea. Far better to have them and not need them, then to need them and not have them. Many times the determining factor is the campus. Some highly competitive campuses are going to require them, while they may not be important at a less competitive campus. Check with your university panhellenic, and make sure you register with them. Once the individual GLOs know you are going through recruitment they MAY (or may not) see about getting recs from their alumnae.
2. You may know more sorority women than you think. Let everyone - teachers, mothers of friends, friends of your mother's, relatives, work associates, etc. - know you are thinking about going through recruitment.
3. Register with your local alumnae panhellenic. They will give your information to NPC members, who may or may not then arrange to get you recommendations.
4. Use the search option on this board. You'll find lots more detailed information.
Good luck.
