In addition to Titchou's great advice, have you had a heart to heart talk with the person who is going to write a rec. to her sorority? Let her know how much you appreciate her helping you out, and how much you are looking forward to meeting her chapter at UT-Austin. If she does not offer to pass on your info. to ladies she knows who are members of other sororities, tell her how difficult a time you are having locating a member of ABC, DEF, GH, IJK, etc. who would write a rec. for you. I don't think she would be offended. Just be clear that you need and would appreciate her help in connecting you with any alumnae of other sororities that she might know.
Whenever a PNM asks me to write a rec. for her, I always ask her if she has a rec. to all the other sororities on her campus. If she answers "no", I offer to pass on her information to alumnae I know who are members of those sororities. Most of us want to help, so that not having a rec. is not what keeps a PNM from receiving a bid. we do not take it personally if a PNM we helped joins a sorority other than our own.
