So I am a reapp and I have some secondaries already written from last year. Anyway I got some rejection feedback from RFU and I am re applying- they said my PS along with other things needed work, but did not mention my secondary essays at all. I think they are really clever and relate my life experiences to the schools mission etc... I really felt like my secondary essays were a strong point in that particular app. I was "small pooled" until I got rejected at the end of april. Anyway do you all think it would be okay to reuse them? I completely changed my PS and all...

If it were me, I would at least change a few things here and there. Or else you can try staring at the question and just start writing to see if some other (better) answer comes to mind, and go with that.

Even if someone tells you it's okay to reuse it, if you can present a better application via better responses, wouldn't you want to do so? If you feel it's not worth the effort, then you've answered your own question.

However, the content should remain similar if not the same, or else you might appear inconsistent or insincere, if your first set of secondary essays really were genuine.
