Aphi did spring recruitment so I think they would accept sophomores.

All those sororities had more than one sophomore in their pledge classes, except Kappa. APhi around 10 and AXO was close to that. DG and GPhi both had around 5.

I'm involved with recruitment, and here are the sophomore #s that I saw submitted last year (to the best of my recollection):

Gphi: 5
Kappa: 0 (this is as far as I know. They did have a transfer sophomore who was a Kappa at another school, so maybe that's where people are getting confused)
DG: 4
AXO: 8
APhi: 11 (not sure about their Spring class since they did COB)
PiPhi: 13 (+ 3 in their Spring class)

Sorry, I'm not sure about the other houses, although I know that they all took sophomores in varying amounts. I even know of one in AEPhi, which is sorta notorious for not having sophomores in their pledge classes. I paid pretty close attention b/c I also rushed as a sophomore. There's really no stigma in taking sophomores. Some sophomores are girls who already knew girls in the greek system and have a lot of friends in a certain house. Others are unaffiliated sophomore transfers who might know girls from high school in certain houses. And some sophomores/transfers know no one---that was my situation. I still got my top choice of sorority. I don't think it's as detrimental to be a sophomore rushing as everyone thinks.
