My daughter is hearing that quota might be around 63. Seems like an add year at UGA.

That does sound a little odd about the sophomores, but it's great for them! Maybe they may have made a lot of friends in the groups last year. Didn't last years bid list show that many of the groups did keep a couple of sophomores? (okay, not many, but

The legacy thing isn't really surprising or odd depending on which group it was. I think since some groups have to cut so many legacies, it's pretty common. As far as I know, I've never heard that the number of legacy connections makes any difference to the group. And if we're honest, it probably wouldn't to the girl either if it was a group she didn't like.
I think that there are typically more than a hundred girls who drop out at UGA, maybe even a couple of hundred. There are far more drop outs that cut outs, and it seems like it happens after second and third round.
At least these days they can make last minute adjustments to quota to still place girls and allow groups to make quota too.
