USC is a tough (okay, "highly competitive") recruitment. Read all the stickies at the top of the page and work your networks to get those recs! You will need at least one for every chapter.
Be emotionally ready for cuts. It's easy to do this in theory, but it can wear you down to have cuts coming every day, especially when you have a lot to bring to the table. The best advice that I can give you is to commit to yourself to see the process through to prefs, no matter what you think about the chapters. You can always drop out after prefs knowing that you gave it your best shot.
Another thing to guard against going through as a Junior is ambivilence. You know that you can make it on campus just fine without the sorority experience, so it is critical to convey to your rushers your enthusiasm and interest in sorority life. Be prepared to talk about the leadership strengths that you can bring to the chapter, and what you hope to gain through sorority membership.
Be prepared to keep an open heart to chapters that may not be at the top of your wish list. As a junior, those chapters may well be where a possible bid may come from. Keep in mind that in a large chapter, there will inevitably be many women with whom you are compatible, even if you have a hard time finding those women during recruitment. A chapter might be a really good match for you even if it doesn't seem so obvious at first.
The colonization may be a good opportunity for you, especially with your leadership skills.
