If you don't know what school you are going to yet - it is too early to start collecting letters. What you might do would be to start a list of people that you meet or know in sororities, so that once you do know where you are going to school you can ask for the best letters. You might even ask them if it would be ok to contact them next year when you are looking for letters or ask for a business card to keep track of their contact information. Most people say 2 letters per chapter is good even at a really competitive school. (We only have so much time to read them!) Sometimes a letter from an alumna of that school carries a little more weight.
Some people will have a couple extra letters for one chapter or another if they are a legacy.
After the first couple letters, they start to say the same things, so it doesn't help to have a TON of letters (especially if they are from people that don't know you or your family very well.)
