However, there is a very real risk that an upperclassman quota can hurt the smaller chapters in two ways:

1) PNM's who don't like their invites freshman year are far more likely to drop out and think they can give it another go next year.

2) Chapters that often hit quota by taking some of the sophomore released everywhere else will no longer have that way to help their numbers.

3) There may even be PNM's who wait to rush to avoid live-in requirements.

Just saying that there are downsides, and an upperclassman quota would not necessarily mean more women got placed in chapters.
1) You can't fix stupid.

2) There are enough women rushing that it shouldn't be a problem.

3) Again, you can't fix stupid. If anything, they're more screwed because I don't think live-in reqs say you must live there "junior year" or whatever...just that you must live there for x amount of time. If you're a senior living in a house full of sophomores, it's your own fault.
