Not to be a downer, but if you are at a school where recs are crucial I'm not sure if sending them in this late is going to have the full effect as if you had sent them in a month ago. I know even at my school, which is not nearly as competitive as the South, if we received a rec the day before recruitment started or whatever it would be nice but we'd have to scramble to do research on the women. Most of the women with recs would have sent theirs in with enough time for the actives to thoroughly review the information, match her up with actives with similar interests, etc. I would still try to get as many recs as you can, but I'm also just warning you that they probably will not be as beneficial as they would if they had been sent in earlier.
it may not have the same impact that it would have had had it arrived at the beginning of the summer,but if a chapter falls in love with her, and having a rec. for her is a national requirement, it will help to have one, even if it arrives one or two days before recruitment begins.

I googled "Greek life + forum" and found this site and emailed her the link pretty quickly. She is scrambling to make sure her clothes and shoes are ready and she has completed her homework for the next week. School has been in session two weeks and rush will overlap, but not conflict, with her classes.
