Actually DBB kinda said the same thing twice, she doesn't know how likely you are to get a bid is what she's saying I think. Quota is kind of confusing unless you've spent a lot of time dealing with it. What she's saying is that in the past at Illinois, juniors were factored into overall quota. For example, quota was 45 - and this included all freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors participating in recruiting. Consequently, juniors (and seniors) are often cut hard. This year, juniors are considered free - not a part of quota - common practice at some of the large southern Greek campuses. You'll often see quota displayed on threads like this for those campuses: ABC took quota of 45 + 3 juniors, or something of the like. Juniors not factoring into quota works to your benefit.

One would think that it would, but does anyone know what the junior return rates look like? (I guess I mean invite rates)

The chapters may not know how to work things if the OP only went back to six of ten possible.
