It's tough to say what your chances would be as a sophomore at Miami. While quite a few sophomores do go through recruitment, it's much more competitive for them than for freshmen.

The re-rushing sophomores who succeed in getting a bid the second time around at Miami are the ones who make an effort to change the thing that was holding them back -- whether it be improving grades/activities/reputation, overcoming a shy personality or improving their outward presentation. You would also benefit greatly from befriending women in the sorority chapters. I am an ADPi and my sister is a Theta, and we've discussed before that the vast, vast majority of sophomores who've gotten bids to our chapters both knew large numbers of chapter members personally and had taken great effort to change whatever the "issue" had been with their first recruitment.

Unless things have changed drastically in the two years since I graduated (and I likely would have heard about it through my sister if they had), only one chapter does COB regularly. If the other chapters fall below total, it is only by a very few and those spots are always filled quietly by girls who are friends with chapter members. You won't have many, if any, options through COB.

You should also adjust your expectations as to which groups you would be prepared to join. The fact is, freshman year is really your optimal chance to receive a bid at Miami, and you're unlikely to improve your chances by much unless you take a long hard look at whether you want to join a sorority, or if you just want to join a "top" chapter.

I'll PM you as well.

It was so much higher in the (ummm, embarrassing) 80s.
