Consider IndianaSigKap your goddess of love and light. She'll be able to provide you a world of information. And she might clarify but I'd say since they have winter rush, it will be extremely important for you to 1-keep your grades stellar, 2-keep your reputation stellar and 3-get involved in on-campus activities. Do something that you are authentically interested in and hopefully there will be sorority women there you can meet and naturally become friends with. You will need to consider yourself in rush mode all first semester so I would resist the urge to go to class looking like something the cat dragged in, or get sucked into negative situations that others can observe. You never know who's within ear-shot so be careful about getting into conversations where someone is speaking ill of ANY sororities on campus.

And do remember that although it is very competitive, it's also growing now with an unhoused option on the ground and one coming this winter, unless that schedule has changed. Keep your options open and be willing to take a less traditional path and with a little luck you'll get what you want!

When it gets a little closer to the time, we might be able to provide you with some strategies into ranking your preferences. But in short, you'll want to include some realism in your choices, not just your dreams. There is discussion about this in some of the threads. And as MaryPoppins said, Google works better to search than the internal search function, which I've never been able to successfully use to find so much as my own posts.

I can't say go Hoosiers, but I will say Go Big 10!
