3. Would knowing a kid, and the kid really like me who is already in a fraternity almost guarantee a bid?

Your GPA looks to be very solid (I had the exact same, but a higher ACT). A 24 is not horrible. So, as far as grades go, I personally would not worry. That's awesome that you played a sport and were involved in the community! I cannot speak on behalf of Missouri's Greek Life System, personally, but I would bet you a pretty good amount of money that the Fraternities at Mizzou are looking to see how involved you were (the ones I visited multiple times over the summer at AU seemed to like that I had done volunteer work lol!).
As for point number 3, I really cannot relate. I went to AU summer rush events not knowing a single person, and had to get to know everyone from scratch (out of the 4 bids I received, I only received one during my first time attending an event with that particular organization-I visited the other 3 again). I would certainly say it's a good sign that you are friendly with a guy in that fraternity, but it depends if he has a good amount of say in who does/does not receive bids.
If someone with more experience could add to this thread it would be greatly appreciated!
