thats a good concern.
BUT I go to Michigan and I know that it is BECAUSE of that rule that we don't have many sophomores rushing at ALL. Alot of sophomores know about that rule and decide that they don't want to rush because they're discouraged from moment one. I can understand if a chapter says they'll only take a small percentage of sophomores but to say they won't even consider them is ridiculous. Especially if the house is one of the more popular ones that never would have a concern for numbers anyways.
But don't worry Lisa, I know ALOT of awesome girls who rush as sophomores and they get into houses that are great. There ARE even juniors that rush. There are some big houses that DO take sophomores and juniors and those are also some of the chapters that EVERYONE loves.
