Having an upperclassman quota is for sophs and juniors.

At alot of the bigger schools, chapters are hesitant to take them because it takes up a spot in quota that could have been filled with a freshman (who will be in school for 4 years).

Having an upperclassman allows each chapter to take on a few upperclassmen without them counting in regular quota.

So if Suzie Sophomore is awesome and the total package, you can pledge her without worrying about it.

It makes it a little easier for an upperclassman to have a chance.

Any other results?

How did the upperclass quota work out? I wouldn't be surprised if it was hard for all the groups to make. How did they handle releases? Were they part of the same pool as the freshman?

There are some advisers who post, and some people in the know in their organizations.

Others just learn stuff by reading it here.

Are there even that many upperclassmen in UGA recruitment to begin with? I mean, are there enough for every particpating sorority to bid 5 of them?

I'd think so since panhellenic must have used something to set the quota. But if they weren't doing releases with the difference in mind, the upperclasswomen might have concentrated at the same chapters.

I'm just curious because it seems like it might be a hard thing to get right the first time.

And although in years past, an upperclass PNM'S options were limited at some chapters at UGA, other chapters took some every year, so it's conceivable that they were all placed fine or that previous returns wouldn't have meant much at all. Remember the one year UGA released the bid lists? There were quite a few non-freshman on it, but some chapters didn't have any.
