The upperclassmen quota in NOT optional. Each sorority is required to take quite a few, usually about one third of the new member class will be non- freshman women! This policy began about five years ago. As I said before, the sororities aren't exactly in love with this requirement. The drop rate for junior transfers runs particularly high. I think that it can be really hard for the junior transfers to develop the strong bonds of sisterhood within a group of girls that already shares a couple of years of experiences and "history" between them. The junior transfers tend to stick together, live together, and often drop together. The retention rate for girls who join as freshman, however, is very high.
CaliTransfer, what has your experience been?
