I rushed as a sophomore at UF, too. In my pledge class, there were several girls who were junior transfers. It was a really, really big deal for my chapter. There was also a junior transfer in my rush group who ended up in one of the "top" houses at UF (I just gagged as I typed that.) From what I've seen and heard, junior transfers are becoming more commonplace, especially as less and less girls are through recruitment.
Obviously, recruitment is not easy at UF, and it gets more and more difficult the older you get. But I don't think it's quite as impossible to get a bid as a junior transfer as it once was.
Also, if you're super realistic about your chances of getting cut from most houses during fall recruitment and don't want to deal with it but still want to go greek, I would look into spring recruitment. Not all of the chapters participate, but it's much more laid back and not formal at all. I've had several friends who were juniors go through spring recruitment and got a bid from a chapter they absolutely love.
