Also I know very few greeks so I doubt I could get many recommendations (only 2 or 3 tops) am I basically screwed?

It's not what will look impressive to someone else; what's important is to do things/join organizations that mean something to you, where you can make a difference, develop leadership skills, etc. It's not about doing great things, but doing small things in a great way. Let's say you were the president of the State U Crochet Club. Sound boring?Lets say that president, you organized a blanket-making campaign to benefit chemo or dialysis, newborns, and the homeless. You researched different populations' needs, set up quality/safety standards for each, scheduled quilting sessions and deadlines, and hand-delivered them to the hospital and shelter. I would be damn impressed.
As for recs, you have been given great information, and can find a lot more if you use the search button here. Ask friends in sororities if they can put you in contact with alumnae. Ask everyone you know, and when you find someone, ask if they know anyone. It's not an impossible feat, and many, many people who were first in their families to go Greek have had successful rushes.
