Best ways to find recs:

*Absolutely EXHAUST ALL of your personal contacts. You never know WHO is a sorority alumna or KNOWS a sorority alumna who may be willing to write recs.

Who should you ask?

Teachers
Coaches
Family members (cousins, etc)
Parents' friends/coworkers (even Dad's friends)
women in your church/temple/etc.
Former camp counselors and such

This isn't an all inclusive list, but it should get you started.

Also:

*Contact the alumnae panhellenic closest to you:

Many of them routinely help with recs (esp. if they are near a competitive school). They will let you know what they need from you (info, resume, etc) in order to help.
