Hi Berr -- I feel like you answered your own question as to whether or not you should rush-- you said you would honestly feel bad if you don't try, so that being the case, I absolutely think you should!
You seem to realize that FSU's recruitment is competitive and that sophomore status could limit your options some. Approach recruitment with a very open mind and a willingness to give all chapters an opportunity. Some PNMs go into it with their eyes set on certain chapters and aren't interested in giving everyone a fair look. This is never a good idea for anyone, and especially risky for a non-freshman at a competitive school.
Make sure you get recommendations for every FSU chapter. Everyone going through FSU recruitment needs these "recs." Do a search here on Greek Chat -- there is plenty of into about what they are and how to get them.
That's great about your high GPA! As for extra-curricular, it's not too late to start adding some activities. I'm not sure what your summer plans are, but consider including some volunteer work. Service is a big part of Greek Life -- volunteer work will give you some experience AND give you something to talk about during recruitment. I realize the semester is coming into its final weeks, but see what is going on around campus and if anyone is looking for volunteers to pitch in. Maybe your dorm is having some end-of-year activities? Ask your R.A. if there is anything you can help with.
I know you will get lots of good advice and suggestions here! Best wishes to you!
