You should definitely go through rush but need to know that your options will be limited based on several factors (some of which apply to even freshmen): 1) Biggest challenge is being an upperclassman - sounds like you'll be a junior. It can be tough to get a bid as a sophomore, much less a junior, however there are a few houses that likely are open to an upperclassman if they connect well with them. 2) A challenge for anyone without connections is just that: no connections. Applies to even freshman. Again, there are houses where connections aren't needed so not to worry on this one. 3) Something for you to consider: the vast majority (I'd say 95% or more) of your pledge class will be 18 year olds. While you will definitely connect with actives, I would consider that it will likely be hard to connect with your pledge sisters given the age gap - and this is where you form most of your relationships in the house. 4) Not being "Southern" isn't a big deal. Every house has OOS and OOR members. 5) Lastly, being here 2 years might be a detriment but for the right girl, some houses won't care. And I would encourage you to rush - you just might find a great home and you'll never know if you don't go through recruitment. Get your resume in top order, get recs, and be prepared to have fun and know that an open mind is what you (and every other PNM) needs to find a home.
