With about 350 freshman rushing for 12 frats, I feel I probably will not even receive a bid. Is this true?

Look at it this way -- you can't do anything now about not having met many brother in the past, but at least you know you haven't made a bad impression that you'll be fighting against. Go with the positive.
And just a word of advice: Some fraternity members aren't bothered by the word "frat" at all, but some others find it offensive and disrespectful, sometimes very much so. It's best to stick with "fraternity" instead of "frat" just to be on the safe side.
