Maybe you two can have a coffee and she can give you a little coaching to help you get your head back in the game before you attend an informal event. Ask her!
I can't think of any schools on the West Coast where sophomores and transfers are at a severe disadvantage in recruitment. Sometimes women who are a little older, closer to 21, actually have an advantage over the new freshmen. They can be more mature, better at relating to the women they meet because they have shared experiences and are past the "I just moved into my dorm room and can't wait to PARRRTY!!!" phase. Informal is a great way for women who may get lost in the formal recruitment process to shine.
You can do this! It may not work out, but it just might. Either way you'll be better off for the experience of dusting yourself off and knowing you can get through that disappointment and move on to your next great adventure, whatever that may be.

Thanks so much for your encouraging words! Yes, one of my friends nominated me and I plan on visiting her at the start of the school year and talking with her.
At my school, it's sad but true that sophs/transfers are at a disadvantage. What upsets me the most is that some houses don't even give these girls a chance, unless you have great connections. However, every year are some success stories with upperclassmen, so I am hoping I will be one of them.
