jojo, go on and rush if you can. If you don't, you'll regret it later. Ignore the naysayers.
Now if I'm correct, if you study abroad in your junior year, you would probably be in school for 1 to 4 semesters (.5 to 2 years), and that is not a lot of time left. If you wait until you get back, your chances will get slimmer and slimmer to get a bid because of your class status. However, you should know your chances of getting a bid if you should study abroad. I'm not discouraging you from studying abroad, but being in a sorority is a committment. Now, I'm not in a sorority, but I have learned a lot from the posters here at GreekChat.com. Also note, if you de-pledge yourself, it's going to get rough on you in many ways than one.
If you haven't checked out other clubs at school, do it. You can make friends without going greek and you don't have to worry about being active. I've joined a couple of clubs and I've made some friends. Look at it that way, you can make a friend that is greek, but outside of greek life.
Is there a co-ed service fraternity at your school? Consider joining it if there is one. It's a different ball park than a social sorority.
