Yes.
You'll want to wear shorts and a polo/oxford for the first two days. I can't remember the dress code on the third day, but I think it might be tucked-in oxford, and khakis (actually I'm pretty sure that's the case). The last day is blazer/suits deal.
Oh and something very important:
Bid Day has gotten very lame over the last few years and after receiving the bid you have to go straight to the game. No puking, no passing out at 4 in the afternoon. Because of that, on bid day you have to wear a red/white polo and red/white shorts. Parice has required it the last two years and as long as bid day remains the same, thats how it will be. So remember to bring that (though you'll want them anyway to wear to the games regardless of the bid day, while you're rushing). While you're a pledge you will likely be required to wear at least a red tie, white oxford (maybe a sport coat) to most home games, so I would recommend buying those things as well. Even if you pledge one of the few fraternities who doesn't require that, you can always outclass your other pledge brothers...so they're good investments.

2) If I know a good amount of people in a fraternity, does that make it easier to get a bid?

Unless they hate you, perhaps it makes it easier.
But you'll want to visit alot of the houses during their non-dry parties and try to figure out which ones you want and meet more people.
Most of my male friends who were not in my fraternity or in FYE, I met through rush (either rushing or rushing me).
