I'm most likely going to Ole Miss this fall and I'll be a sophomore transfer from Alabama (the state, not the school). I'm planning on going through rush but I know from everything I've ever read or heard that recruitment at Ole Miss is extremely competitive. I know being a sophomore will hurt me a good bit but what are my chances of getting into one of the higher tier fraternities? I ask that, specifically, only because I feel like those are the houses in which I would fit in best (I don't really see myself being a Delta Psi, ya know?). I also don't know anyone at Ole Miss, much less any greeks. I would definitely try hard to make it to summer rush events, knowing how important those can be, but being from south Alabama (Mobile), the trip to Oxford isn't a short one and I've also heard that some fraternities' summer events are invitation only and knowing no one there, I don't think I'd be invited.

I'm a really personable, outgoing guy and I'm told that I'm funny and witty and blah blah blah but I just need to get my foot in the door and be given a chance to make an impression. Sorry this became so long, but just wanted to paint a clear picture of the situation. Any honest advise would really help. Thanks a lot.
