I would ask your campus panhellenic adviser if seniors are counted in quota on your campus. If they are not, then you are probably OK to go through, if they are counted, then it is very unikely you would get a bid. The reason should be pretty obvious: you are taking a spot that could be taken by someone who will be around to hold office and be more involved in the chapter. Plus, many seniors get "senioritis" during spring term, although you probably would not, that's just a reality for many chapters, and thus would be a perception that could hurt you.

You have to ask yourself why do you want to join and what will you bring to the chapter. Make sure you "sell" yourself, so to speak to the members you speak with that you want to be a contributing member, and not just have the "resume" factor.

If you don't go through (or even if you do and end up without a bid), you can apply to certain NPC sororities for Alumnae Initiation later on down the road (there are multiple separate threads on that subject).

Good luck!
