So, in general, I think any campus with a decent number (say, more than 5% of PNM's) of sophomores/juniors rushing should do an upperclassman quota.
This is only relevant if the campus is one where subpar freshman > than excellent sophomore. On many campi this is not the case (thank God) and a freshman who is just "average" gets sent home from all the chapters to try again next year. As it should be, IMO.
