Sophomore Rush USC

[fighton]

I am a current freshman at USC (Southern California), and I was wondering about the potential drawbacks, if any, of rushing/pledging a fraternity in the fall of sophomore year. I didn't rush fall semester of this year and I only rushed 1 house in the Spring (didn't get a bid). Will that be held against me next year? Will I be less likely to get a bid because I would be a sophomore? And would it be awkward to pledge as a sophomore while most other pledges will be freshmen?

Thanks in advance.
