Coming from an actual sorority member perspective: I don't feel like this is something that you need to tell members during rush. I mean, I just don't see why they need to know about your personal medical diagnosis. Sorority members aren't clincians and they don't know everything that it entails and conversely, what it DOES NOT entail. Telling them may lead them to think things like "she couldn't be a productive member because she's terrified of being in front of people." These things are not neccessarily true of people with SAD, but who knows what girls may conclude when given a medical diagnosis that they're not familiar with.
I would suggest starting some therapy, if you aren't already in some. It will help alot. I'd start now with gradually easing yourself into social situations. Recruitment (for someone who has SAD) is going to be a tough situation. There will be alot of people trying to get to know you. You don't want to go into it "cold" without having eased into being around and making conversation with others. Try going to dinner parties wth friends or barbeques and makng one on one conversations with people there.
Ultimately, it is up to you to decide whether this is something you want to disclose. Best of luck with whatever you decide.
