I mean, can sororities see that information and avoid me because of being dropped twice?

They won't see that information however, they may remember you or it will come up in conversation during recruitment.
"So Lolgiro, you're a second semester sophomore. Why did you wait until now to go through recruitment?" (Especially if rushing after freshman year is unusual at your school.) You need to have an honest answer for that.
You can't depend on going in with a "clean slate." Depending on the chapter or school, once you've been cut, it's possible you will always be cut. You need to be prepared for that possibility.
There's no harm in going through informal. It might give you a better opportunity to get to know members and for them to get to know you.
However, no matter when you choose to rush again, if you haven't improved on the things that might have affected your previous results (eg: marginal gpa, poor conversation skills, appearance, lack of activities, personal reputation) you should not expect a different outcome.
