<p>My current UA sorority girl was in nearly the situation. No one in my immediate family had sorority connections, but we found recs through other family, friends and friends of friends. My daughter put together a rec package for each potential rec writer which included a resume, transcript and photo. The resume listed high school sport involvement, work experience, club participation, volunteer work, honors, highlighted her academic achievements (GPA, APs taken) scholarship awarded, potential major at UA and career goal. Nearly every UA sorority requires at least one rec and a minimum 3.0 overall high school GPA. Be aware if a rec has to go through national HQ (Chi Omega I think is one), it can take over a month to process. Maybe someone else knows if there are any others like that. The process sounds overwhelming, but it is very doable with a bit of planning and spreadsheet!</p>
