Megerts, I'm confused. At all the universities I'm familiar with, sophomores are treated like freshmen. If anyone is treated differently, it would be the juniors and seniors who generally are "free." That means they are not included in quota. I hope your friend's info is wrong. You ought to go for it if sorority life is what you want. Plenty of members pledged as non-freshmen.

It really depends on where you go to school. At many schools, particularly where the greek system is very large, it is harder to get a bid as a sophomore, junior or senior, although not impossible by any means. In addition, some schools will make upperclassmen "free" but many do not. I had never heard of that practice until I started reading GC and it is not common in my neck of the woods.
The best thing to do if you want to gauge your chances, is ask someone at your school what the norms are and the possibility of getting a bid if you are not a freshman. No matter what the answer is, don't let it dissuade you if you really want to go through recruitment. Anything is possible and many upperclassmen find homes every year.
