Rushing as a Junior

To be fair, the OP didn't say "this is the chapter everyone had at the bottom of their list." It was the one at the bottom of HER list. For all we know, it was a chapter everyone else loved and she didn't want to pledge there because the columns on the house frightened her or something.

This is 100% not true. If the Greek system and the sororities are that small, more than likely each chapter has a very distinct personality and if you don't fit, you REALLY DON'T FIT. Non-competitive does NOT mean everyone with a cervix gets a bid.

OP - if that's the case, you should have been working over this past year to make friends with members of the other sororities. If no one in the groups knows you as a junior AND you have already declined a bid, no matter how non-competitive the school is, the chance of your attaining sorority membership at this point is slim.
