question for sorority rush

U are absolutely able to rush as a sophomore it’s very common and no informal is not a bad thing! You’ll be totally fine dw you have options

You can rush formal as a sophomore. I did and so did lots of people and it was honestly better in my opinion because you have your existing friends then your sorority, you’re not just relying on your sorority for your whole identity

You will be fine. Lots of people rush as sophomores.

There are pros and cons to everything, but people worry too much about rushing as a soph. I went through as a freshman, and was dropped. It was really hard to see friends pledging and meeting new people. But in hindsight, I was really finding my footing freshman year---not joining a sorority let me form my own friend group and feel confident in myself, and evaluate what I really wanted from my college experience. I decided to try again as a soph. At that point, I had an established non greek friend group...and they stayed with me all four years. I went through and new a lot of girls in each house from classes and activities, which made a nice common ground. I was able to ignore stereotypes b/c I knew they didn't matter like they are promoted here on GR. I found my fit and there were a bunch of other sophomores in my pledge class. It was the best decision. I ended up making friends across all years, I still had a core group of non greek friends, and I made even more through my house. Don't worry!
