UCLA, and Berkeley for that matter, never worked that way though (at least for the chapters with the highest return rates). The most competitive chapters would only take freshmen with the occasional legacy upperclasswoman.

That seems so odd to me. You'd think that it would be the other way around (especially with the recruitment numbers that USC gets).

I know, it's baffling. USC has a ridiculously competitive recruitment for being in California...recs, tons of legacies, frills, the whole nine yards...but sophomores seem to be at no visible disadvantage whatsoever (minus the whole having time to slip up on campus your first year). No chapter seems to mind taking sophomores and like I said, it often seems like a third of everybody's pledge class is sophomores.

I grew up in So Cal (prior to moving here), so I have a lot of friends who are sorority alumnae from USC, UCLA, SDSU, etc. and I am always puzzled by how different the recruitment environment is from ALL other schools in the state. Like, USC is vastly different from UCLA, and is even MORE different from schools further south like SDSU.
