How to start a new chapter?

On my campus juniors and seniors are considered "free" and not counted towards quota (maybe even total?) when they are extended bids as an upperclassman. Even with that rule, I know of one, and *maybe* two sororities on this campus that will most likely not take any woman past a sophomore level, but that doesn't mean the remaining 4-5 sororities are not great organizations.

I'm not sure what the rule is at texasgirl's new school, but even if a few of the sororities do not usually extend bids to women who are past their freshman year, chances are that some other sororities on the campus do

I think the accepting of upperclassmen doesn't really apply to any one GLO, but instead varies from chapter to chapter of each organization.. for example, a chapter of XYZ might extend upperclassmen (any class above freshman level) bids, and another chapter might feel that only freshman would suit their chapter needs (for whatever reasons)..

That's what I meant! I was telling her to research the chapters at her school and find the ones that are more lenient with upperclasswomen.
