I wouldn't expect being a transfer student would hurt you at all. In fact, I think it could help you because you have solid college grades. Also, you're still classified as a Freshman, so you have 3-4 years as an Undergraduate to contribute to your future chapter. If you can, consider submitting Recs (recommendation forms) to the chapters on your campus before formal recruitment. There are other threads on Recs here or you can PM me (or just about anyone who reads/participates in the Rush board!!) for more information. Be yourself, be interested, keep an open mind, and most of all have fun during recruitment!!
Best of luck with Recruitment, Holly. Please keep us posted, I think we all love reading the Potential New Members' formal recruitment stories
They're one of my favorite parts of GreekChat!
