Zillini, a Bama alumna made this post in our big Bama thread about spring recruitment:
"Historically for most Chapters, COBing is pretty rare at Bama. A few years ago Chapter Total was increased to 180 and that pushed several under Total. As I recall perhaps 6 ended up doing Spring COB that year. Even then Chapters were only able to take like 5-10 new members.
AFAIK and not counting SDT, all Chapters except 1 were still above Total last Spring. Normally with a quota of 72 Fr and 5 Up, most would be well above Total. However with the lousy economy I know everyone is facing a significant increase in the number of member resignations due to not being able to afford sorority life. So this year, who knows?
According to her, it's a rarity for chapters to have spring recruitment.
And really, rushing as a sophomore is a pretty daunting task. There are a few upperclassmen who get bids (thanks to upperclassmen quota), but you'd need to be ULTRA prepared with recs, grades, involvement, etc. And even then, there's no guarantee. It's pretty tough for non-freshmen.
