I rushed as a sophomore as well! I agree that it was tricky going through rush as some houses do have set quotas and select primarily freshman and junior based classes (because they already have a lot of sophomores from the previous year). So it did suck going through rush and feeling like I had a good experience at a house only to be dropped in favor of a freshman (although that's not always the reason!!). Definitely prepare yourself to be asked repeatedly why you decided to rush as a sophomore. It can feel like you're being heavily scrutinized but honestly most of the time they're just trying to get to know your background! I honestly am really happy I rushed my sophomore year, I was much more confident in myself and my place at Cal and got a lot more out of the experience of rush itself as I was able to relax without the pressure of finding my friend group the second I got to college. Joining as a sophomore worked out great as well, I was lucky to have a decent amount of other sophomores in my pledge class and make friends with girls of all years! Good luck with rush, hope it goes well :)
