Advice for a second-timer

[WhySoSerious]

I'm pretty sure they will all know I've depledged as it's on the application and I'm also fairly certain all the sororities have lists of who is rushing. I'm also not too concerned about being cut from the sorority I already depledged... My question is how I should bring this up, whether to start right off the bat with it to get it out of the way or to wait until they ask why I'm rushing/why sophomore year etc. I don't plan on saying anything more negative then "it wasn't a good fit but I'm not giving up on the process and want to join a sorority that is a better match." I just want to be as careful as possible because I would really like to join one and hope I didn't ruin my chances by making that mistake last year...

I wouldn't bring it up unless asked.

Also, I'd caution against saying that you're looking for a sorority that's a better match. A comment like that still suggests a negative opinion of your DP-ed sorority, IMO.
