I'm actually going a little out of my lane here (I'm a guy in a fraternity), but here are a few things to consider:

- Sororities generally like to have people who can stick around a while so they can learn more about the organization and contribute more as an active.
- If you join a sorority, you're going to be spending a good portion of your first semester as a pledge. If you get initiated, you're going to be around as an active for just one more semester before going back to England.
- Unless the sorority you end up joining has an alumnae organization in England, you're going to lose touch pretty quickly. This isn't ideal as membership in a Greek Life organization is supposed to be for life.

In summary, you're going to a really competitive university in terms of sorority recruitment, and since you're only going to be there for a year, your situation isn't exactly ideal. You simply won't be there long enough to reap all of the benefits.

In any situation, follow the advice above and talk to the Greek Life office. You still have a chance, and there have been cases where someone joined a sorority as a senior (which puts them in a very similar situation to you).
