i went through rush as a transfer student and had a blast! youre a member of your org. for life so it doesnt really matter if youre a first semester freshman or a transfer!! i dont know about a senior though...you dont really get the whole experience that you would if you were active longer. but if the org. wants you and you want them then why not? a lot of schools now arent letting first semester freshman go through rush anyways now.

Again, it really does depend on your campus culture. At my school (where greek life isn't huge), many sororities view juniors separately. Other schools, it doesn't matter, but there are those where it probably won't happen unless you're a freshman. You just have to figure out what works at your school. Ask around current sorority members. If you don't really have a chance, they will probably be honest. But if it doesn't matter, then good luck!

You should check with your new school's Greek Affairs office to see if juniors and/or seniors are considered "free" bids. That means they can offer unlimited bids to these grades because they do not factor into quota. Good luck!

Actually, most of the campuses that do Jr/Sr bid seperate from quota still have a Jr/Sr quota. They aren't unlimited.
