I'm trying to come up with a plan that will make me stand out from now until then. So far my ideas are, 1) show face at parties, 2) maintain good gpa, 3) dress to impress, 4) casually chat up the sisters throughout the semester, 5) stay active in clubs and maybe run for a student government position, 5) take up a sport.
Any further tips would be great or stories about what made one girl stand out from the rest when she got a bid.
Thanks!!

I've seen this one horrible problem when people go through rush for the second time.
They were themselves the first time, and for whatever reason, they didn't get a bid. What they don't realize is that it was probably not because of their personality, or certainly not that alone.
So the next time around they change themselves. NEVER do this. When they get a bid, they discover they aren't happy, because they don't fit into the chapter after all.
Most importantly, be yourself. All of your other suggestions for yourself are right on. Don't come on too strong, but it's not a bad thing to show some interest.
