I would still keep the three sororities in mind as well like BetaRose said, because you never know, and memberships/attitudes do change from year to year and in some cases depending can change semester to semester. You never know when a couple of ladies may decide not to return to school next semester or to that sorority and spaces can open up. It may also be to your advantage to wait till spring semester anyway due to the shortness of time left in this semester and finals approaching. Concentrate on your finals and do well and COB afterbreak.

When I was as UK, COB was done for chapters who didnt make rush quota until they reached the rush quota. Once they reached rush quota they were not allowed to COB any more women even if they were not at chapter total (though i always felt that to be rather stupid and one reason why the smaller groups stayed small). This may have changed however since I've been gone. My current school, and I believe most schools do this as well, are encouraged to COB till chapter total is reached (which is how it should work).

I wouldn't rule out any of the three that are not at quota. The group that isn't holding events until next semester just means waiting a little while longer. And even though last year a group may not have seemed excited about you, the membership changes from year to year, and the girls who are members now may love you.

I would also recontact the greek affairs office after the semester break. A group that may not have previously been eligible to COB new members this semester may have some spaces open after grades and graduation.
