First word of advice: Get your head out of 'favorites'. If you are only going to consider a small fraction of the entire Panhellenic system you are setting yourself up for failure.

Is it going to hurt me that I don't have a rec for every single sorority? I'm worried that I won't get an equal chance at each of the sororities because I have so few recs. At my school recs aren't required-it says so on the rush application, but I've heard that they are still really important. Should I be nervous about this? And if so, how do I compensate?

Personally, I would be worried. Southern schools have a reputation for being VERY competitive. Even if it says they aren't required, I'll be willing to bet it DOES help.
There is no way to compensate for not having recs. If you still have time, go out and find recs for the rest of the groups.
All of them.
Not just the 8 you like before rush. Contact the alum panhellenics. Contact family friends, etc.

Also..I know a few greek girls through my boyfriend who is in a fraternity. I know in the advice threads it has been mentioned to not bring up boys so I don't plan on going around announcing that I'm dating a fraternity guy, but I have met most of the greek girls I know through him.
So my question is this: if the active greek girls bring him up during rush activities, how should I react?

If you already know greek girls, why not reach out to them? THey probably have friends who have since graduated who may be able to help you with recs. I don't know what the 'silence' rules are at your school, but if it's allowed before rush, you should give it a shot.
Re: your boyfriend, sorority women will be told not to bring up boys.
