transferring in the fall as a sophomore..

Hey guys, I'm going to be transferring out of state to utk. I'm going to be a sophomore, I'm going into this process with a completely open mind, I'm not really into all this top tier bottom tier stuff. I want to find a house that will fit me! That being said, I'm nervous about rushing as a sophomore transfer. If I don't have a recommendation to some houses, does this completely close the door on my chances? My grades are great and I'm a really social person, who dresses well, etc. I simply chose the wrong college to attend my freshman year:( I want to have a good experience during rush, so any feedback or tips would be really great to hear!

Thanks guys :)
