You're too young to worry about specifics, but knowing what you can do now to help yourself in the future is a good idea. As said above, make sure you're involved in things you like in high school. DON'T join the debate team if that's totally not your gig just because it's good on a college app. But do get into a variety of activities and do them well. If you have any interest in public speaking or performance kinds of activities, I think that can only help you feel more comfortable in the chaos of rush. And try out for a few things you want to do but don't have a great chance of succeeding at. First, working for things that are hard for you is good, and experiencing failure is a remarkably good thing to get comfortable with.

Keep your grades up, keep your friendships up, make at least passing friendships with the girls in the 2 years ahead of you. Don't glom onto them and be pathetic, but knowing them well enough so they remember you fondly in membership selection can only be helpful. Don't give yourself the reputation of being the class drunk, slut, bitch... be nice to everyone and try to avoid doing things that will embarrass your parents, not so much because they're your parents but because they might be a good gauge for you. Now that's not to say you need to sit home on Friday night knitting, but learning balance and moderation is a very good thing.
