I happen to know, at my campus, that one year two of the "top houses" (and I cringe as I quote you) did not make quota. They were off their game, whatever the reason - regardless, they did COB and took additional members. Actually, this happens more than most people know.
And, knowing the culture at my school, sophomores do get offered bids, for many reasons that have been written about in countless other threads.

Point taken. There are about a gazillion variables that can affect any PNMs outcome regardless of class standing or campus. But I stand by, be on the look out for COB opportunities and don't expect that one dream chapter to be beating down your door in October. That dream chapter held an informal recruitment, but I certainly wouldn't expect that to happen again AND for you to know someone who could invite you AND actually wants to invite you AND chooses you once you have attended parties. That's a lot of lightning striking at once. But you're right, it can happen, and does for several girls every year. Out of hundreds. Be hopeful but realistic is what I'm saying.
