Also, my school's PH site says not to worry about them, only contact alumna you know.)
If your school has a separate quota for non-freshmen and even mentions recs....this tells me that you DO need them, in spite of what the website says.

Go here http://www.npcwomen.org/alumnae-panh...directory.aspx and find the alum panhel closest to you, even if it's not in your immediate area - they will be able to help you obtain recs.

If you go through rush, even if you don't get a bid, you will meet lots of new people and it will help you with your shyness. You most likely will not be the only non-freshman going through. Even if you don't get a bid...you will be no worse off than you are already.

Good luck!
