It varies by campus. If your school has never heard of a rec, then don't worry. Some chapters require recs, however, at smaller schools, like yours it sounds like, they will secure one for you if needed.
You could still try. However, I think it may be best to ask someone who is familiar with the school. If someone you know (or someone on here if you feel comfortable with giving that information) is or was in a chapter on your campus, ask her. There are some places where giving a rec is completely unheard of and would be odd. Is the woman you already contacted from familiar with your campus?
