Here's my advice. Yes, it may sound a tad harsh, but I'm being honest:

It's a big waste of time to go through recruitment if you only want to be in a select few sororities. Really. Ask yourself why it is that out of all the sororities at your school, you only want to be in 2 or 3 of them.

You really never know which sorority you could be happy in. Look around the recruitment stories here on GreekChat. Girls REGULARLY get cut by their favorites, but they keep going. If every girl who got cut by a chapter she liked quit recruitment, sororities wouldn't have any members.

Alot of people don't get their first choice in recruitment, but they choose to give the sorority that bid them a chance, and they end up loving it. You have to give sororities a chance if you want a good chance to be a part of Greek Life.

You say you really want to be in a sorority and you want the friendships and such. Think about it, you had the chance to be part of a sorority twice. As long as you're dead set on certain groups (for whatever reasons), you're bound to experience disappointment.

At whatever school you end up going to, try to be open-minded about all sororities during recruitment. If this school is one where non-freshmen are at a disadvantage, it's not a good idea to write sororities off during the recruitment process, since your options are already potentially limited.

On your other questions, whether being a junior matters or not depends on the school you're transfering to. There are some schools where juniors really have no chance at all, and there are others where juniors regularly go through and get bids. And you needn't be concerned about what to "say" you are, because if you register for recruitment, the sororities will see your class standing so they'll know what year you're in.

Best of luck to you.
