Ask someone in the Greek Life office if your school treats juniors differently during rush in terms of quota.
If they do, then the group may have been sincere about your rushing in the fall.
I'm going to try to explain something; other folks please correct me if I'm wrong.
In general, it's good for the overall numbers of the group to be evenly divided among the four classes. It's good to know that you won't ever lose a big section of your group to graduation at one time.
So, wanting folks to be involved for four years is part of why groups like freshmen, but making sure that the group doesn't end up with too many of its members in the class of '08 is part of it too.
If the group you were rushing is doing spring rush because they didn't bid to quota this year during fall rush AND fall rush is usually mostly or all freshmen, then for the sake of balancing the classes, ideally they'd want to pledge girls who will graduate in 2010 this spring to fill that class.
So, your being class of 2008 puts you at a disadvantage.
If your school count juniors in the regular quota, then you will still be at a disadvantage next fall.
But if juniors are free or count separately in fall rush, then offering you a bid doesn't take a freshmen slot. Being a junior wouldn't hurt your chances as much or at all in such a system.
Did I understand you correctly that all the groups do informal or is it just some of them?
