Rushing as a transfer + minority + non-legacy + with no recs

Is it impossible?

Currently I attend a small school in upstate NY that isn't right for me. This is my first semester and I am a freshmen. I plan to transfer back to a school near my home (perhaps a CC) and finish my gen ed classes there so I can save money, etc. Then I plan to transfer to either Syracuse, IowaSU, or KSU. I thought about this for a very long time and I no longer want to waste any more time + money at my current university so after a lot of thinking, reflecting, and discussions this is what I'm planning to do. At those uni's I want to pledge for a sorority.

Problems:
- I will probably be a sophomore or junior by the time I transfer to the listed uni's.
- I'm not sure if this is a factor but I am a minority (Asian) and I'm sort of worried about that.
- None of my family members were Greeks.
- I can't really get recs if I have no prior connection with said chapter.
- Currently, I have a low GPA since I have physics and I'm struggling so it's pulling it down. I do aim for a 4.0 next semester (wherever I end up going to whether it be staying or transferring back home), taking summer courses, volunteer and participate in a lot of extracurricular.

In my current school the chapters are local sororities... and I feel like it wouldn't be worth the effort to join them as they do nothing but partypartyparty which is something I'm not that interested in.

Do I have any sort of chance? I feel like joining a national sorority at a bigger school would help with my personal development and will be a chance to network and participate in a lot of things that will help me in the future.

Dunno.

There are a lot of factors that can cut me out almost immediately I think.

Should I be worried?
