I think it will depend on where you are going. Do you go to UT-Knoxville? If so, it will not be as cut-throat as, say, Ole Miss...

It is still going to be tough as a sophomore. Let me repeat that. It is still going to be tough as a sophomore.

*Get your recs. Get your recs. Get your recs.
*Make sure your GPA is in the 3.0 range, at the least.
*Try and make friends with members in your classes, dorms, etc.

Read the other threads on rushing. They can be of assistance. But, without knowing which SEC school you're attending, all we can do is give general advice.

But, don't let anyone tell you that it will be as easy as rushing as a freshman.

Be realistic when rushing. If you don't have the grades and you have no recs, then like anyone, it will be nearly impossible to get a bid. But, also realize as a sophomore rushee on an SEC campus that you probably will get cut by some.

This is not to try and talk you out of rushing. It is meant to give you some HONEST advice about rushing. I don't want anyone rushing as a sophomore on an SEC campus without understanding the reality of rush. (I had to go in with NO idea what to expect.)

Good luck.
