I totally agree with being politely honest about your past sorority experiences. We all make mistakes. You mention that you know some ladies in other houses, so this might help you in making your story and desires known "behind the scenes". You definitely can't go wrong by showing a genuine interest this time around and if the cuts are severe on your campus (due to the de-pledge, sophomore status, etc.) you might keep an open mind for informal recruitment later in the year, if available.
