Honestly, most fraternities won't take a non-undergrad. I say most because there are some campuses where grad students can pledge. I have never heard of or seen these campuses, but from what I've heard on GC this does occur. That being said, that is definitely an exception, not the norm.
You say you got a bid at a 'top' house at UCI, so you know how rush works. The national organization has little say in how groups on campus select their members (unless the group is being watched like a hawk or a new colony). Contacting the national organization would be pretty useless. The only way you would know for sure is by contacting rush chairmen.
There is a reason why, although the NIC allows it, grad/med/law students are not given bids. The work load is intense and your free time is not even close to how it was as an undergrad. How can you make pledge meetings, chapter, fraternity events, mixers and philanthropy events all while balancing the work load of a med student? I have friends (who were in Greek Life) in med school right now and there is no way they could balance med school with being Greek.
Like others said, professional fraternities in med school are the only option available to you.
Though, talking about how awesome, rich, good-looking and athletic you are would be enough to make me not want to give you a bid.
