quick question! how do I get started?

Hey, I am not from UCLA but am familiar enough with their recruitment to answer a couple questions.

1. Recs are not necessarily needed, even for the chapters with the highest return rates, BUT they are common enough that they would definitely give you a leg up. I'd definitely get them.
2. It used to be that pledge classes were primarily comprised of freshmen. But this year they started having an upperclassman quota, and all chapters took many upperclassmen. I do not know if they are returning to this type of recruitment, but if they stick with it upperclassmen should have similar odds...although I am not altogether sure if it is one of those things where sophomores are viewed as more desirable as juniors who are viewed as more desirable as seniors, or if there is a separate quota for each grade, or whatever.

thanks! I really hope they kept the upperclassmen quota!
