I'm not going to tell you to not go out at all throughout the year, just be smart about it. Sorority girls (and fraternity guys) talk to each other and they have long memories. Do not let yourself ever get embarrassingly drunk. Don't be seen in a 21+ bar because you aren't 21. Don't be "that girl who practically lives at the XYZ fraternity parties or ____ bar." Don't be "that girl who picks up a different guy every time she goes out." Be aware of the crowd you hang out with. If they're obnoxious drunken tramps even if you're not, there can be guilt by association. "Oh, she hangs out with those girls." Keep your Facebook pix and comments tasteful.
More importantly, make your grades. At a bare minimum shoot for at least Panhellenic Average which last spring was 3.24. Get involved on campus! Your resume needs to be as strong in college as it was in HS. If it isn't, folks will assume all you did your freshman year was either party or sit in your dorm room and that you would do the same thing your sophomore year. Remember Recs are as important for Upperclassmen as they are for Freshmen.
Also, try to meet/become friends with as many sorority women as possible. Obviously that will help during actual Recruitment, but they can also get you invitations to the spring Teas where you can meet more members. Attend open sorority or Panhellenic events like philanthropy fund raisers or educational speakers. Attend Crimson Tidings (new last year) around Christmas which is a walking tour of all sorority houses. Attend the spring Panhellenic Preview Weekend. Keep in mind you want to show you're interested and excited, yet at the same time you don't want to come across as desperate.
