I guess I'll jump in and lane swerve because I don't think there are any U of I fraternity members on GC. I am an alum of a sorority at Illinois, so please keep in mind that while I'm very familiar with Panhellenic recruitment, I don't know that much about fraternity rush.
From my experience, I haven't known too many sophomores (or higher) that have rushed. It seems as though the guys that know they want to join a fraternity do so during the first or second semester on campus. Having said that, I can think of two personal acquaintances who rushed as sophomores, and they both received bids to the chapters they rushed. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure my fiance's fraternity gave a bid to a junior one year. Having said that, these are individual cases and no one can tell you what your chances are.
One of the great things about Greek life at U of I is that there are a LOT of chapters, so you have a lot to check out. I'm pretty sure that all the chapters do both spring and fall rush (if not all, than the overwhelming majority).Therefore, you definitely can rush in Spring 2011 when you get to campus. However, one thing I have noticed is that spring rush seems a bit less publicized than fall rush, so you might have to work a bit harder as far as finding out about rush events.
Hope this helps, good luck!
