stargirl, when I went to SMU (a long time ago) we had a separate quota for upperclassmen during formal rush, so it was not uncommon at all for juniors to get bids. I believe each house could take up to 2 extra upperclassmen. Check with the Greek Life office to see if there is still an upperclassmen quota. This could effect whether you want to pledge now during COB or wait until formal rush.
If you do decide to wait - try to meet as many people in sororities this fall that you can, either socially, in class, or by joining some organizations on campus. Greek life is huge there, and just about everywhere you turn, you will meet a sorority girl. It helps tremendously when there are people in the house pulling for you.
Also, get your recs, with resume and pics, in to the houses as soon as you can, the sororities are working on recruitment all fall, so you want to be in the mix.
Good luck.
