What will rushing as a sophomore be like at University of Michigan?

I don't know them, but they needed a 4th roommate and we met on the apartment's roommate assignment page online. They have convinced me that greek life is worth it, although they are not allowed to really talk to me about it. I know that sophomore year is the year that girls live in the house with their sisters, so will I be missing out on that? And if I would just live in the house as a junior instead, would it be weird to be living with all girls that are a year younger than me? I don't want to sound bad, but if I do join, I would probably only want to be in a top tier sorority, either tri-delta, alpha phi, or kappa kappa gamma. But do the top tiers generally not take sophomores? When I was a freshman, a lot of the frat guys in phi kappa psi and the sorority girls in tri-delta told me that I was really attractive and would definitely get one of the top tiers, but is this not the case since I am a sophomore? I have a cousin that was in alpha phi and graduated last year, so would I have a chance there? Other than that, I don't really have any connections or friendships with the top tiers. If anyone has any experience with greek life at U of M, please let me know! Thanks!

With this kind of attitude I doubt even the "bottom-tiers" would even consider you.
