It is good practice to register with the local alumnae panhellenic, but you should consider it a last resort for recommendations. The APH forwards your information to the sorority alumnae and they can write a recommendation for you, but how good can a recommendation be if the writer has never met the person she is recommending? I have written recs for girls who I don't know, but there is a limit to how helpful the information I can provide is because I simply do not know the person. The point is not just to get recommendations, but to get GOOD recommendations.
As someone else suggested, you need to contact the local alumnae chapters in your area (so the San Antonio Kappa Delta alumnae chapter, Chi Omega alumnae chapter, etc.). Tell them that you are planning to go through recruitment and you are looking for someone who can provide a recommendation. Offer to meet them for coffee so they can meet you in person so they can write you a stronger recommendation.
BTW, it is probably the general practice that you hear back from the local APH within five days, but most of the women involved are very busy and life happens. People get sick, have to work late, go on spring break, etc. Those things happen.
