I too would urge girls to check out Alpha Phi before deciding to look toward sophomore recruitment. While Panhellenic has certainly set up a system that encourages bidding of upperclassmen, the stats bear out that not all chapters bid to that number. I wrote recs for two excellent (read High GPA, gorgeous, in-state, big deal high schools) sophomores. One accepted a bid, and the other dropped with only one house left. This is not a criticism of those choices or the system- it's just important to be realistic about what an upperclassman can expect.
