3 of my friends did FFR as sophomores and by the second round (after the first cuts) they were down to 4 houses when the max was 13 all because they were sophomores. It's definitely a lot more stressful to do FFR as a sophmore. Only a select few houses will consider you. Do COB if you can, that way you won't have to risk your housing!

I did recruitment this year as a sophomore, and I definitely would recommend it to someone above not joining at all, but I do wish I would have pursued COB. I was lucky and ended up in a house that I really like, but the process is very hard and I was dropped from 18 to 6 houses overnight. The reality is that being a sophomore does impact you negatively at a lot of houses. If you decide to rush next year, you will find houses that are open to sophomores and it will work out, however if you're interested now I say go for it! You get to have the experience sooner and hopefully save yourself some stress.

I went through FFR as a sophomore and it is true that a few houses drop you just based on your age/grade, but I know a lot of girls who also rushed as sophomores and ended up in houses that they love. You just have to keep in mind that not all houses COB and a lot have already met quota.

That other poster is giving you a false impression. A lot of houses do drop people because they are sophomores, and I know multiple houses just drop everyone that isn't a freshman. But that doesn't mean at all that you wont be signed but you do have to be just a little bit cooler/prettier/more involved to make up for it because houses do care and usually lower your score because of it.
If I were you I'd just COB now so you can have the sorority experience your freshman year, plus then you don't have to deal with FFR again next year.
