I have no idea if they're doing it again this year, but it seemed to work out very well last year, so I can't imagine why they wouldn't.
And you can PM me if you have any questions; I just graduated from U of I, so my info is pretty fresh.

I'm glad to hear that! I would love to see more campuses go that route to open up sorority life to more upper classmen who for whatever reason didn't go Greek in their early years. We started an upperclassmen quota at Alabama a few years back and it's been very successful.
To the op, I'm a UofI grad as well. I strongly advise you to give Recruitment a try. Never let stereotypes interfere with your decisions in life. Always investigate for yourself! Best of luck!
