This is great news for UGA! Bama has an upperclassmen quota and I think it is one of the best decisions the University/Panhellenic ever made in regards to Recruitment. (Especially since I was a sophmore pledge at another school.) I always believed it was highly unfair to cut an upperclassman for the sole reason that she was an upperclassman. Soph's and Jr's have already proven they can pull grades at the college level, have shown how involved they will be on campus, etc.

I hope that's true. Many years ago Bama's previous Univ Pres/Admin wanted to push formal Recruitment to spring. Even back then there were large pledge classes and losing an entire fall semester of those new members' dues would have been financially catastrophic. The accounting agency who handles most of the GLOs on campus ran the numbers and the loss would have been a massive blow to the entire Greek system. Some of the smaller chapters and the larger ones who had a lot of debt (typically due to major construction/remodelling) might not have been able to weather that loss.
