I'm so glad you've decided to look into membership! I joined my organization this fall in a re-colonization (as a Junior) and it's been the most incredible experience. I also witnessed another sorority re-colonize on my campus.
The process is much different from formal recruitment, but each organization also will recruit a little differently. There will likely be some form of individual consultation with interested members to learn more about their interest. For example, in my consultation, I mentioned my interest in leadership (which is especially vital in starting a brand new chapter!) and how I wanted to gain a close community of sisters. You may also have the opportunity to socialize with other women going through the recruitment process. Most likely, the recruitment team hosting these events will be from the National office or include alumnae who live nearby.
My best advice is to let your enthusiasm for the organization shine through and communicate what value you can bring to the chapter as a senior! We took in 7 seniors out of about 107 members and they have been active leaders, one even made Homecoming court, and were well-connected on campus which helped us to have great social events, get the word out on philanthropy, and they were a mature face to look up to.
I wish you the best!
