Hi there! I'm an American currently living in the UK. First off, you won't loose touch quickly if you are only around for a year! There are TONS of sorority women living overseas (in fact a lot of sororities have Virtual Alumnae Groups that help keep these sisters connected!). I also know that DG has a London Alumnae Group as well.
Anyway, it's definitely not ideal to be around only for a year, but not impossible and it gives the chapters a unique opportunity to network world-wide.
I wrote some recommendations for a young Brit who was doing a 1 year exchange program at Berkeley and she rushed successfully. I would definitely recommend talking to the Director of Greek Life about your unique circumstances. Panhellenic may be able to vote to allow you to be a "quota addition" - to allow you to pledge without taking the spot of someone who would be there for 4 years should you get a bid.
Where in England are you? Let me know if you have any additional questions/need help. I'm in Gloucestershire.
