In terms of recs I think you will be pleasantly surprised about how many alumna you already know! When I got recs for my recruitment I initially thought I would have to go through an alumni panhellenic, but after a quick search of teachers, friend's moms, women at my church, dance teachers, etc. (not to mention family members!) I had a recommendation for every sorority on my campus from a woman that actually knew me well enough to write about specific accomplishments.
I think going in to it with an attitude of, "Oh, I don't know any alumna, do I even need recs?" is not beneficial simply because many many many other women are going to be making the effort to find alumnae.
