I'd also hazard a guess that being a colonizing member is quite a bit of work. Rewarding and fun, but still work. If your main intention is just having social opportunities, it might not be the best avenue.
The colony will most likely want a cross-section of students, so being a junior shouldn't work against you there.

I understand that I won't get in just because they're recolonizing but I'd personally rather get rejected by one sorority because I wasn't a good fit, than cut from a dozen because I'm a junior.
I'm not looking for just the social aspect (I can go out to the bars or throw a party with friends I have now.) I'm looking for friendships and an opportunity to get involved in philanthropy projects.
I'm up for the challenge of being a recolonizing member and interviews with alumni don't scare me. It could be worse than formal recruitment but with the way recruitment is at UIUC, I doubt it.
