As a recent PNM, I think that it's important to start securing recs as soon as possible. After all, as some ridiculous pamphlet I have says: "you'll never wish you had less time."
I mean, I see no reason to wait to start talking to people, but maybe a more experienced person can correct me if I'm wrong.
Securing them as in confirming who will be writing them is a good idea right now, but don't actually send them until at least late Spring. The longer they sit around, the bigger chance of getting misplaced. Is there a local Panhellenic that can give you an exact timeline?

this-i would say wait until school is finished for the spring and then send them right along.

I was under the strong impression that the potential new member does not gather the recs and send them. Instead, the rec writer sends the rec in.
Or is this something that varies from place to place? Anyone who's recently written recs care to clarify?
