That shouldn't be. I'm guessing that most of the women do fulfill the requirements on paper, but a chapter should never be forced to take a woman for any reason - be it her GPA, her race, her class standing, whatever.

As DBB said, if they don't want to use those upperclass quota spots, that should be their prerogative - and with that prerogative comes the possibility of having fewer members. It seems that the "forcing" has already been shown to be a negative thing, as you mentioned the large amount of juniors who drop out.
