irishpipes, when were you there? In the early years of this decade, they did do a panhellenic-organized spring rush, with an info night and house tours. This way women got to see all the chapters who were doing spring COB. I am unsure if this still happens, but I could find out. I could also wager a pretty good guess at which chapters are doing spring COB.
As far as FR as a junior, you will get cut hard. In the first invitational round, you may not have more than five chapters on your schedule, when other women have up to ten. If you are willing to take a good look at the ones who do invite you back, you have a good chance of getting a bid.
Keep in mind that every year there are a few chapters who don't take quota, so if you are willing to pledge one of those chapters, you have a much better chance of getting a bid. Any chapter would rather take a junior than miss quota.
PM me if you have more questions, or if you want me to do some research.
