I went through formal recruitment as a junior, and I really enjoyed it. I was the only junior in my group, which did feel a bit strange (most of the girls were freshman, with a few sophomores sprinkled in.) However, I had the confidence which comes when you already have a couple of years of college under your belt. I was warmly welcomed to every house and my Rho Chi was great.
Juniors tend to get cut more heavily, so you have to be prepared for that. I was disappointed when a favorite house would cut me, but not devastated.
You will want to find out if juniors on your campus get bids (perhaps from your Greek Life office or from sorority members.) Keep your grades up and bolster your resume with membership in campus organizations. Pursue leadership opportunities with those organizations. Be friendly with sorority members.
