From how I understand it, previously it was very difficult for a junior to get a bid. This year, for the first time, they had separate upperclassman quotas, so essentially they had a quota for freshmen and then an upperclassman quota (and to be fair I don't know if there was a separate one for sophomores and juniors, or just one overall). Because of that new quota system many juniors were able to pledge with minimal cuts. I do not know if they are sticking with that system or not...it gave them much bigger pledge classes than normal which was popular with some chapters and unpopular with others.

But the moral of the story is that especially if they keep the new quota system, you should not have that hard of a time. It is somewhat competitive though, so get recs, keep an open mind and definitely get some killer outfits (Los Angeles, and SoCal in general, usually means "classy with a touch of trendy").

That is so great. I really hope they keep that quota this year and the years to come...especially since schools like UCLA get so many transfer students, its only fair that they get equal opportunity to rush like freshmen do.
