There are no written NPC or individual sorority rules that prevent upperclassmen from joining...if KKG at LSU wants to take a pledge class full of seniors, there's nothing that says they can't. I don't think seeing freshmen as more desirable is something that was created to keep juniors out...I honestly think it came about in the 1950's because so many women went off to college, got married and dropped out before they graduated. I heard a statistic that in those years, 50% of women dropped out before graduation!! The sororities had to pledge the women as quickly as they could if they wanted to stay alive. Like many traditions, its origins are completely lost and it really has no relevance to anything going on today...I mean how many women going through rush now will drop out before they graduate to get married??
