Helping a transfer?

I'm not sure if there is a transfer thread. Also I have a couple different questions too.

I originally rushed at my school at the beginning of the semester. I commute from my hometown. I am actually going to the college in my hometown. (you can message me and find out what college I am at now, and am going to). I ended up getting asked back to do COR, but the school in my hometown didn't have that sorority so it made no sense to rush that sorority (even though those girls are awesome and some reason I decided to stay, I'd totally rush them in the fall ).

I'll be a junior in the spring (my school only has formal recruitment, because its so huge). I heard they drop juniors really quickly during the rounds of rush. Would getting recommendations from people in different sororities help? I also am a legacy (AXO is the sorority).

I'm kind of worried, because the school is huge. They got somewhere between 900-1,000 people for rush I think?
I'm just glad I know another girl who is going to be a junior next year and is rushing (she didn't like the sorority she got a bid from). I also already know how somewhat it will go.
