That would be my only concern, as well.
Unfortunately, I missed all of the rush activites on my own campus this time around because I was still unsure of what I wanted to do.
Being that I missed the rush activities, I suppose there's a silver lining to every cloud in that I now have more time to read up on and research more into the philanthropy.
My only hesitation would be the fact that I'm basically needing to work nearly every weekend to make ends meat - you know how college life is. Do you think this would weigh heavily on the rush activities should I go ahead and rush SAE?

I didn't pledge until spring of my sophomore year and have always wished I'd done it sooner. Once you've joined, you're a member for life, not just for your last year or two as an undergrad.
Anyway it's not like you de-pledged because you just didn't feel like putting in the time or the work; you clearly had a good reason. To find fault with someone for having to deal with family emergencies like those you were handed would be entirely inconsistent with what it means to be an SAE.
My advice would be to keep in touch with the brothers in the chapter, show up to the events during rush, and make sure your interests are known. If they see that you're sincere (and they accepted you previously), I can't see why it wouldn't work.
