That depends on the school. At some competitive schools it is harder to get a bid as a sophomore. This doesn't mean you CAN'T get a bid, but it does mean you should keep a very open mind and look closely at all the chapters rather than deciding on your "favorites" too early in rush. This is true for all rushees, but even more so for those who are not freshmen.

At some schools your class status doesn't matter as much if at all.

Since you rushed before you should know where your school falls.

Yeah, sadly I do understand that rushing as a sophomore will be a little more difficult but i decided that I should at least give it a try, the worst thing that happens is i wont get a bid...of course i'll be sad but life goes on. hopefully

And im totally keeping an open mind like you said. I had a blast rushing last year and the different sororities were so much fun to learn about. Im really excited to go through it again, hopefully this time to the end
