I'm assuming you mean the year you started at the university because otherwise, girls in my situation would only get one year (or none) if it's going by the year you started college in general.

From what I understand, my organization counts from when you first enter "college" (whether it be a CC, JC, University or whatever). Just because you transfer doesn't mean you can start all over again. A few of my sisters have been transfers from community colleges, and they were considered Juniors. So they got their junior year & senior year in the sorority. And a few did become 5th years.

I don't think chapters will be very eager to give a girl a bid who can only be a member for a year at most and it doesn't seem worth it to me.

If you really want to be in a sorority, you should still go through recruitment. Remember, your sorority experience doesn't end in college.
I was in your situation SunnyFL, I was a "junior" (depending on how you look at it) and rushed. I was only able to get one complete year as an active collegiate and as much as I wish I could get more, I wouldn't change the experience for the world.
