I was really looking forward to rush but now I'm worried I'll get released!

There are lots of posts here about how to get recs but I'll give you the Cliff Notes version:
Make a list of all the groups you need
Get your resume done along with a transcript.
Ask EVERY woman you know (teachers, employers, coaches, parents' friends, friends' parents,etc) if they -or anyone they know - might be a sorority member.
When you find someone and she agrees to do a rec, ask if she knows anyone
else who is a member of one of the remaining groups. Sorority members know other sorority members. (have you asked the one you already found?)
When you've exhausted all those, check the web sites and FB pages of the remaining groups to see if there is an alumnae group for them near you.They will have contact info so use that method to let them know you need a rec.
Find out if there is an Alumnae Panhellenic in your area. Attend their spring recruitment event. Contact them for possible recs.
In other words, NETWORK any way possible.
THANK THEM!
