Do Juniors and Seniors Count Toward Quota?

[violetpretty]

I am not for the mandatory bidding of juniors/seniors by having a quota, but I think they should be free and not count towards quota. Since there will be a limited number that go through anyway, and not all will be of the quality a chapter is looking for, they can still bid a small handful if they like them.

At any normal campus, I think your idea is great, but at SEC recruitment if Jrs and Srs were free, there'd be some issues I think.

Basically, I think you'd see some dirty rushing of people to hold out until later when they could take as many as they want. I really do think the numbers of jrs and srs rushing might explode if there were no limit to how many top groups could pledge. (I think girls would be more likely to drop out of formal as frosh and sophs if they knew that the groups could take them without limits the next year.)

I hadn't really thought of a separate quota as pressure to bid them, but I guess it might be.

It seems like Alabama has a separate small quota, but that not all groups seem to pursue the jrs. even though they are "extra." I guess it could become like not making regular quota though.

You are correct. At least, that's what they did last year. Haven't heard about this year yet.

I guess there is no easy answer.
