While I can't offer any insight into USC specifically, I agree with the above posters that with your junior status and leadership skills, the colonization may be just your ticket. Just after I graduated, ZTA began the process of recolonizing at my undergrad, and I knew several upperclassmen who joined and were very happy there. (They recruited something like 150 women in their first year--including many juniors and seniors--and have been very successful since) At least at Michigan, it is very difficult to get a bid to any of the mid- or top-tier houses as a junior, even if you're a junior transfer and expect to spend another 3 years there. At any rate, best of luck with whatever you decide!
