what's the real truth about rushing a sorority as a so

I'm a freshman who dropped from rush last fall (stupid idea) and am looking to rush again in the fall. I've heard a number of discouraging things like that houses don't take many sophomores, that some houses will immediately drop you for being a soph, or that it's a lot harder to get into a house that you like. Freshman year wasn't horrible as a geed because I was bar legal and had a lot of friends in houses that took me out to their events and pgs but I definitely don't want to be one anymore. A lot of my friends are 20's in houses (AXO, theta, DG, gphi, KKG, aphi) and say they're going to put in a good word for me during rush in the fall but how much will that really help if houses aren't fond of sophomores formal rushing? I feel like I'm an outgoing girl and obviously love going out I'm just a little nervous that rush will be extra difficult as a soph or that I won't find a house I fit into. Just wondering if it's worth it to rush again and if what I've heard about sophomore formal rush is true. Any advice good or bad is appreciated, thanks!
