Alabama Sophomore Spring transfer

[RP2012]

I attended a large very Greek oriented SEC school this past fall. I was given a bid by a largely considered "top tier" fraternity and pledged all fall. The fraternity happened to be the only one that did not initiate its fall pledge class until early spring. Well I happened to get in some fairly serious trouble over christmas and was forced by those financing my collegiate endeavors to take a few semesters off at a local college. So fast forwarding I'm now planning to go back off to school for my sophomore spring semester but in light of what's happened I've started flirting with the notion of transferring to Alabama for a fresh start (not that I didn't have a great time last fall by any means) but considering I'll be a sophomore coming in after rush is over I am doubting whether I would be able to be accepted in a well respected Fraternity. The main question I guess is whether any Alabama students on here think that if I contacted the Alabama chapter of the GLO I had previously pledged elsewhere, They may take a better look at me than a typical older rushee. (the fraternity in question is to my knowledge well respected at Alabama)
