Rushing as a sophomore is 100% not a problem at Pitt. There may actually be more sophomores than freshmen that rush.

It's not a cakewalk, but it is not nearly as competitive as big recruitment schools. If you give every house a chance, you will very likely get a bid. Over the past 7 years since I graduated, all of the sororities have really upped their game. For example, everyone took quota this year during fall recruitment, and there will be NO spring recruitment for the first time that anyone can remember. There used to be a strong divide between the "top" chapters, the middle and the bottom, but those lines are now heavily blurred. Reputations are b.s., particularly at Pitt which is a large school where there is a lot of diversity of opinions, and a lot of non-greek idiots who just pass on old rumors or reputations but know ZERO about any of the orgs. Almost all of the sororities are pretty strong right now.

Recs are generally a foreign concept. There's not many legacies going through, so be sure to mention. I don't think any houses will write you off for being a legacy to another house.
