Im also thinking about going to Texas State, Michigan State, U of South Carolina, U of Michigan Ann Arbor, and U of Texas Austin.

Those are all pretty much traditional campuses with housed sororities. Not only are you likely going to be older than the average member, it's going to be very expensive to help pay for those big sorority houses, where as a 22 year old you probably don't want to live. (Maybe you do but that's not the norm.) If being a member of a sorority as an undergraduate is really important to you, start researching other schools that offer the major or program you're interested in, and have sororities that are unhoused or have smaller houses. That doesn't necessarily mean the chapter will be small, but it could be. Sorority chapters come in all shapes and sizes, every campus is different. With as many colleges and universities as there are out there, you can probably find a campus that better meets your needs, including the opportunity to participate in Greek Life, if you search it out.
Just don't hang your heart on the idea that you picked a certain school in order to better your chances at getting a bid to join a sorority. No matter where you go to school or what your age/class standing/GPA/and a million other subjective factors...there's never a guarantee. Best wishes to you!
