Well, I would think that he's worried about his chances of getting in, so he's asking what a 2nd year person is looked at. He needs to worry less about that, obviously but it's also good to know what people are thinking in a tougher rush setting.
Sometimes 2nd year students are refreshing because they have all their shit together. Make sure you're a strong candidate in that you have the necessary connections on campus. The three high school friends are a great start, especially if they have clout within the fraternity (they would be sophomores, I'd assume so I don't know how much clout they would have...just hope they aren't dickfarmers).
I had a good friend go through as a freshman. He badly wanted to get into this one house and his friend inside the house kept saying he'd get a bid and he'd have no problem. Well, come bid day my freshman friend didn't get the bid because his high school sophomore friend had absolutely no clout within the fraternity and was a spring pledge (which is looked down upon, especially by the bigger fall classes). So don't think you have it sown up, make sure you make other connects throughout that fraternity if that is the one you want.

Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
