They are doing informal recruitment this fall and I was wondering if it would be worth it to participate. I didn't know if reaching out to my friend about it would help me out in getting a bid. I am also concerned because I cannot attend their informal "bid day" because I will be out of town. Will this automatically make me not get one?

You are putting that horse WAY WAY WAY in front of the cart. You are making the assumption that you will get a bid. Very bad idea.
If you have good activities on campus, have been involved and kept your reputation very clean, of course you should try during informal recruitment for all of the chapters that might be holding events.
Do NOT just go to events of your friend. As a new member, she probably won't have a lot of influence anyway.
Give it a try. You have nothing to lose. Be sure to really have a "talk" with yourself to see what you have improved since your last time. What will make the outcome different this time? Hopefully the experience of going through formal recruitment will help you this time around. Good luck!
