The good news is the gals here who did a search (I didn't) didn't find anything incriminating about you AND you have time to get your web presence up to snuff. At this point, if you want to create a new GC user name (changing your user name would still maintain your history), that might be a good idea. Take this as a helpful lesson and one that in and of itself won't have damaged your career.
Second, while I don't know what school is in question here, do look into informal rush. If there's any chance you could take advantage of that, you will be better off.
Third, do some reading here about social media. There is lots of discussion (and a certain amount of disagreement) about what should and should not be included in your media presence. I am on the side of you SHOULD have some things public, but in general your day to day social media presence should be private. And pictures of just you (no friends, boyfriends, and for dog's sake, no alcohol or drugs) should be public.
You have a good long time to work on your pitch. In the grown up world it's called an elevator pitch - the sales pitch you give about yourself or your product that can be done in the time it takes to ride an elevator. Do not under any circumstances lie, but you don't have to tell your life story either. "I'm a second semester freshman" is a great start. "I graduated early" is a great follow up. I don't know that I would get into family trouble and having to withdraw from school. That sounds to me like you went off to school, started partying and Mom and Dad made you quit and move home. It doesn't matter if that's the truth or even in the ballpark of reality. When a girl meets you for 5 minutes in a crowded and VERY loud room, she's going to have to fill in a lot of blanks later. So find a way to tell your story honestly but succinctly.
And finally, several SEC schools have new chapters and colonies coming up. Be aware of that. It might be something that is appealing to you. And don't dismiss the new chapters. They're on their way up and to give them a pass because they aren't 100 years old on your campus is short-sighted. Good luck!
