I have a 3.5 college GPA and a good ammount of reccomendations. I didn't participate in an activities at my community college because there weren't many to participate in, however I was active in High School. With that information, what do you think my chances are in recieving a bid?

I would first make sure that I used proper grammar and spelling in all of my correspondence. Not being snarky, just letting you know. Even online, and especially in email, these things matter.
Second, there HAD to be at least one activity to join. If there were few activities, maybe you could have started your own? It's too late for that now, but people /may will look upon that unfavorbaly. Yes, a 3.5 is great, but you had nothing else to do besides study. Being in a sorority takes up a lot of time. They will need to see that you can have good grades AND be involved as much as you need to be.
Perhaps you can get involved with something at home or wherever you are living right now - through church, volunteer programs, etc. You need to show people that you can branch out beyond yourself. Even if it's for a month. You can then look at your new school and see if a similar interest or group is already represented on campus. It doesn't need to be 10 hours a week.
That's all the advice I have. Perhaps others can give you some better information. Good luck with recruitment.
