First of all, you should be aware that, depending on your campus, rushing as a sophomore can dramatically lower your chances of receiving a bid. I would recommend checking out this fall's rush, just to see if you can swing it this year. I rushed as a sophomore and now I really wish that I had rushed as a freshman so I could have a full 4 years in chapter. It's all up to you, really.
If you are going to go ahead and wait until sophomore year, I would say definitely place a big focus on your academics. Keep your GPA above a 3.0, if you can. Get involved in clubs around campus and get your face out there. Community service organizations and student government are two really good examples of the sort of campus involvement that a sorority will want to see in a sophomore PNM. Above all else, watch your behavior. If you decide to party, make good decisions and keep it classy. Keep your photos and posts on Facebook appropriate. Don't let people take pictures of you doing things that you wouldn't want your parents or your boss to see. Also, just be nice to people in general. The last thing you want is to get a bad reputation for your attitude. I'm sure this won't be a problem, since you seem like a sweetheart. Best of luck with your rush
