Its always possible to rush. I rushed at the end of my sophomore year. We have alumni that decided to rush in the last semester before they graduated because Greek life doesn't end with graduation. Often times, alumni have the opportunity to stay just as involved as the active members. My chapter includes our alumni is many things that we do because they earned the right just like we have, and because as a brother you should be important no matter how old or what status you are. You wouldn't ignore your grandmother or grandfather just because they are old. On the contrary, you would listen to them very dearly because they can provide wisdom. This is just a very small taste of what alumni can offer.

To answer your question about what organization to join, I would visit with all of them at the campus you decide to transfer to, and then rush the one that suits you the best. For example, if you are a very religious person, you might do well in a religious based organization. My campus has the Alpha Phis, and the SAO's (Sigma Alpha Omega), the Phi's are a very social sorority, they like to have fun and their weekly hangout is usually karaoke at Buffalo Wild Wings. There's usually alcohol involved. On the other hand, the SAO's are a Christian based sorority, and they are much more reserved. Also, my campus has the Sig Tau's and the Lambda Chi's. The Sig Tau's are a social fraternity that just thrives on brotherhood and excellence from all walks of life. The Lambda Chi's on my campus are comprised of primarily ROTC students. A person that isn't in the military, or has no desire to ever be in the military might fit in with the Sig Tau's a lot better than the Lambda Chi's. All 4 organizations are great to belong to, and all of them do great things for each other and their community, but your Greek experience will be a lot better if you can relate to your brothers or sisters.
