does rushing a second time as a sophomore hurt you

I did rush as a freshman, but only because I was friends with a lot of people who were doing it. I didn't know the greek alphabet, tiers, or reputations about any houses .During rush, I saw girls crying from getting cut, and I felt really bad and felt like the whole thing was cliquish and unfair. The conversations at the houses didn't really give me a chance to know the girls. I ended up dropping out, and a year later I think I might want to try again. All the peopleI know in them really like them so I feel like I'm missing out. Now, I know about recommendation letters and stuff, so I'm going to get some. I just want to know if this will hurt me, or if girls who rush again are looked down upon? I actually took last semester off for medical leave, so idk if I'm even a sophomore? UNC still considers me a second-semester first-year. Does being sophomore help you more because of quotas?
