You should touch base with the Detachment Commander to find out what your time constraints are going to be, particularly as a new cadet before your freshman year. Make sure you will not have obligations that will interfere with the dates for recruitment (needless to say, figure that out with your own calendar). If there is not a conflict, go through recruitment and see what you think. Be candid (to use your own term) with the sisters you talk to during recruitment about ROTC (though I would avoid discussing a possible transfer to USAFA).
Also, find out if there are ROTC cadets who are involved in the Greek community. If you end up doing both, they could probably offer some good guidance.
Granted, it was a while back, but we had at least three girls I remember in my house who were ROTC and they managed to balance both and all three were commissioned on graduation. We also had another sister who, shortly after graduation, shocked everyone by going through USMC Officer Candidate School and made it, despite being about as far from USMC demeanor as you could imagine (very girly girl, though a good athlete).
Good luck! You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders.
