uk08 - Welcome!
Don't be nervous about the number of girls rushing. When more girls rush, sororities just get to have bigger new member classes. It really takes care of itself.
Legacies help, but they don't get you a bid automatically. Most NPC sororities have a policy where they invite legacies to at least one round of parties, if they meet qualifications. Make sure your relatives let their chapters know you're coming, and put it out of your mind as much as you can. Go look for the chapter that fits you the best.
Will you be in the dorms this year? The best what to wear advice is to find out what the best-dressed girls in your rush group are wearing, then adjust. This might be the year that everyone wears heels and suffers, or it might not. Nothing wrong with flats, or flip flops in a bag!
Most of all, meet people and have fun. My freshman year roommate didn't rush, and she was so jealous when she got to campus a week later than everyone else, and the rest of us already knew each other and were doing things together. Even when my hallmates didn't pledge the same sorority, we had a bond just from going through recruitment together.
