I can't tell you not to try. Just be aware that some chapters don't see the point in taking a senior who is going to graduate (instead of freshman or sophomore).
Ditto.

My school sounds similar to yours in that we have 3 chapters and total is at 40. We only do COB, though. In the past 5 years, my chapter has bid 2 second semester seniors (one of which is a new member right now). But we are also able to do that because we have such a small chapter and we aren't anywhere near total right now. If we were, it might be a different story. As for the other two sororities, I've never heard of them doing this, but I don't know if they'd be completely against taking a senior, either.

Definitely make an effort to get to know as many sorority women as possible. If you became close to anyone in your recruitment group, stay in touch with them. Ask them questions about their experiences and try to hang out with them. If you become a good friend of theirs, they'll probably help you out when it comes time to decide on new members. Keep in mind, though, that nothing's guaranteed.
