There are some schools where being a major legacy can really hurt you. I don't remember if it was Honeychile or Carnation who mentioned that most of the women she knows do not get to pledge their mothers GLO, but are also cut from many of the others almost immediately because they assume the PNM will end up in "mom's sorority".
That being said, that only applies at some schools and mostly they are in the SEC. So I would approach the situation like AOII Angel suggested...think about any other reason that they might have released you and work on those. I think, being a sophomore, that grades, an outgoing personality, campus leadership and achievements will be your biggest asset IF they are accepting of sophomores. Get your name out there on campus in a good way as soon as possible! Some sororities, if they are planning on taking sophomores, may already be taking serious note of sophomore PNMs they are interested in.
If they are not accepting of sophomores, then you may be in a predicament. Do some research on your campus culture and, when preparing, assume that the legacy thing will not come into play. It very well might, but if you act like that is the only thing keeping you from a bid then it might mean you are crucially unprepared in whatever area...ironically, maybe the factor that got you released the first time.
