To dwell on the numbers a bit more, I think the thing is we'd all like to see the exact numbers of how many of each class, how many they offer bids to, how many accept, how many make it through to initiation and how many are there 1 year later. But we all know our nationals would NEVER allow this. As logical, practical women, we know there is a large attrition rate for colonies. Many of the girls are just not prepared for what's going to be involved and/or don't get the hearts and flowers rainbows and unicorns experience they're expecting.

My guess is they would love to have approximately 25% of each grade, but in reality it's probably more like 75% freshmen and sophomores and the other 25% for the juniors and seniors. I would also guess that while there are more opportunities for the juniors and seniors than regular rush, those positions have been recruited heavily by the sorority leadership who are on campus weeks to months prior to colony recruitment. Those juniors and seniors had opportunities to rush in the past and didn't, so they have to be found and convinced. I would bet (this is my last one) that a big percentage of the juniors and seniors who go through a colony recruitment were talked into it by someone else. How much of this can I back up with first hand knowledge or stats? None.
