Okay, I am not a recruitment advisor, just done other adivising stuff in the past so it all can be confusing to me...but the way I understood it is, upperclassmen are like extras on top of quota. However, and I didn't say this earlier and I'm sorry, but I think if a chapter is already at chapter total after they make quota, they cannot take any upperclassmen. I don't know really how to explain this but I think other schools in the SEC do this process as well. It's very confusing to me. I just remember last year I was told that upperclassmen (like sophomores/juniors) are "extra" and they do not count in your total quota figure. Ole Miss does some strange release figures, which will probably change since there is a new Asst. Dean of Students Orgs., I know in the past quota was set either way too late or way too earlier...
Anyway, my overall point is that it's not going to be easy for her, but it's not totally unheard of for a transfer student to get a bid from any of the 9 houses at Ole Miss. And since she's not from say a Mississippi Junior College or from the South it might be even harder. I think as long as she tries and has her recs and of course the biggest thing, she should not have her heart set on one sorority.
Oh and to my knowledge I think most of the sororities are near Chapter Total or at Chapter Total. I think Chapter Total is near 234 maybe. I will not go into the acutal sizes on chapters on here because that can lead to other things that can be said like rankings of the chapters at Ole Miss, etc...
