I'm not sure if OU is competitive in terms of recruitment (I think it is), but I would work on getting your recommendations next year - letters from aluimnae members of the sororities that vouch for your character and recommend you for membership (they don't have to have graduated from that chapter). Some schools aren't too competitive and you may not need them, but I'm sure they couldn't hurt. As for housing, you'll spend a lot of time at the house but it's not like you move in as soon as you pledge, but you may be required to live in the house for so many years (2-3 depending on the org) but again that wouldn't start until your sophomore year.
