3 - do you have any tips or strategies i could use? i was thinking maybe telling the girls i may be older, but i could be like a pledge class mommy to all the other girls and they can come to me for advice.
4 - are my chances very low?

#3 No. Just no.

What do you mean by this? Are you saying that your school doesn't allow freshman to go through recruitment, but that since you are a junior, you are eligible? Nobody can tell you if you're more likely to get a bid during COB/informal recruitment. It varies from campus to campus and chapter to chapter.

Are they still your friends? I would suggest telling them that you want to go through recruitment but if you wouldn't or don't otherwise talk to them anymore, they may be wondering why they weren't good enough to keep in touch with in the first place.
Second, you don't need to be Greek to "party" or be part of something. You seem to have an idealized view of membership. It's not all parties and playtime; there is a "business" aspect to membership (formal meetings, dues, service/philanthropy, rituals, etc.). And no, simply being Greek doesn't mean that someone's life is "amazing". People are still people and still have the same life problems and challenges they had before going Greek.
