Finally deciding to rush Fall 2011, need some advice.

I've been debating for a long time whether or not to go through recruitment for a while. I didn't do it Freshman year because of personal reasons.

I have a couple of questions and concerns.

So, the main thing I am worried about is if I am going to get a bid. I am at home taking a break from school, I'm taking classes to raise my GPA, but I will be considered a Sophomore. Is being an upperclassman really a big deal? I have a lot of community service experience, an amazing 'resume', and I like being part of something. I know a lot of girls in sororities who I am on very good terms with. Everyone always asks me why am I not in a sorority, even some of the girls in sororities tell me I should join and I would fit right in. For the girls I am not on good terms with, will that hurt my chances? Since I am taking a year off I have a lot of time to get myself together, raise my grades and clean up before returning, because I had a big party girl image during Freshmen year.

Sorry for the long questions and what not! I am mostly concerned with not getting a bid, because I have officially become very interested in Greek life and am really trying to change things to be successful.

Thank you.
