Decided to rush last minute- a couple of questions

You will most likely be invited back to very few groups. If there is one group on your campus that struggles a bit with numbers, that is the likeliest option for you. Most groups just don't have any reason to extend a bid to a senior when they could extend it to a younger member who will contribute more in her time as an undergraduate.

So, my advice is this: be prepared, and if there is some chapter that is willing to take a chance on you, be willing to take a chance on them.

Thank you I'm assuming that I probably won't be invited back to too many parties, but hey, it's kind of like buying a lotto ticket- it only takes one, right

Yes, and I say all this not to discourage you, but so that you are prepared. No matter how much the rational, prepared CautiousSenior knows what she is in for, the CautiousSenior who is stressed out about rushing and classes and not eating/sleeping/working out enough may feel differently.

It sounds like you are in this for the right reasons, and I wish you the best of luck, but it is going to be tough.
