Can I still rush a sorority at a different school if I was in one at my old school?

Take it one step at a time. Identify the universities in which you have interest, apply, and see if you are accepted (and if so, what courses will be accepted for transfer.) As a general rule, if your previous school is accredited, and your new school has an equivalent course, it will be accepted. So typical freshman courses such as English 101, Biology 101, U.S. History, etc. are very transferable. When you get that ironed out, *then* worry about recruitment.

When you get to recruitment at your new school, don't put your previous sorority on your resume. If you really, really want the sorority experience, then be advised that Ole Miss is one of the toughest recruitments in the country. Coming in as a 20-year old, you would be very fortunate to get a bid to any chapter at all there. Honestly, that would be the case for even moderately competitive recruitments at other universities, much less Ole Miss. It's unwise to go into recruitment as an upperclassman thinking that you are interested in only certain chapters, because those chapters are looking at the 17 and 18 year olds with packed resumes and connections.
