Any advice on how to stand out?

Helloooo! I'm brand new here, but I've been reading through threads and learned a lot about recruitment. So thanks to everyone for being so helpful without even knowing it!

Anwyays, I guess what I'm looking for is some advice and insight from people who have been there before. Here's my background:

Last year I transferred to a 4-year college as a junior (I'm 22). It's mostly a commuter school, and Greek Life here is limited but legit (we have 4 NPC sororites). I have 2 years left of school, and I'd really like to rush this fall. It's not very competitive here, so I'm sure my age won't be a problem, but I'm scared that my 2.4 GPA and lack of other activites might be a disadvantage. Also, I'm pretty shy around people I don't know.

Any advice on how to make sure I get noticed (or at least remembered slightly)? I'm a pretty quiet person, except around my friends, and almost all my friends are guys and way easier to amuse. I know the best advice is to always be yourself, but I joke around a lot and my biting sarcasm isn't an appropriate way to impress strangers. I really want to break out of my shell and succeed at this university. Soo... any insight/suggestions anyone can offer me would be REALLY helpful!

THANKS!!
