We never had a problem pledging upperclass students. They usually turn out to be the most dedicated and active members and their maturity adds greatly to the chapter. Last year we initiated a grad student but she decided to do it as an alum since she was only going to be there one semester. And, we pledge married women as well.
If it truly is a problem on certain campuses, the Panhellenic can vote to allow a certain number of quota-free juniors and seniors. At my school they even allowed a certain number of "free" locals----women that the college is in their hometown.
Separating juniors and seniors into a separate group does just that---separates everyone. I think that it would become known as the group you could get into if you couldn't ever make it into one of the others---I wouoldn't want that stigma!
