UCSD isn't known for cut-throat recruitments. Having said that, rushing as a senior is going to be extremly tough just about anywhere (it's not unknown for seniors to get bids, but it's rare.) I would go ahead and do spring recruitment because the sororities that are rushing in spring are also (in most cases) going to be the ones who are more likely to be interested in you as a second semester junior or a senior. It would also give you a chance to shine in a more relaxed environment.
You may have two years left (and you should certainly mention that) but you will still have senior status next year.
Check the recs thread -- I don't think that recs are necessary for UCSD, but they never hurt.
