Rushing as a Sophomore?

[carolinagirl15]

Hey guys, I'm a freshman now at the University of South Carolina. I didn't rush a sorority this year because I was afraid of not being able to handle that and school work, plus I was afraid that it wasn't right for me. Now I regret that and I really wish I had rushed this year, since I didn't, I've decided to rush in the fall as a sophomore. I was wondering if that will hurt my chances of getting a bid or if it makes a difference at all? Also, any advice for rushing would be greatly appreciated.
