First...you are not a non traditional pnm. SC has spring admits and sophomore admits who go through recruitment and find a house. SC does not have formal spring recruitment so spring admits (who are generally sophomores) and fall admit sophomores go through recruitment.
Note: I am now talking about what MY daughter experienced. Going in she had 3 recs. She did not pledge a house where she had a rec. Would it have been "easier" if she more recs? Perhaps...but she almost had a "perfect" rush. She did know a few girls in a couple of houses and that probably did help.
The blanket advice for SC is have a good gpa, dress appropriately for southern California (I have seen the term Church appropriate here...SC is not that conservative), have questions to start conversations if the sister is out of gas and breath mints. Not kidding./
