The idea of an All-Jr/Transfer Rho Gam group doesn't give me warm fuzzies. I don't know if Jrs at your school routinely get bids and/or have a separate quota, but it almost sounds like the group that you would send to see the Koi Pond (Sidney White reference, for those who missed a cheesy Greek movie). I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I can almost see a chapter thinking that they have a slack-off opportunity during your parties because the whole group is an easy cut.

ETA: I can see the benefit of them being a support group for eachother and having an easier bonding opportunity, but in this case, I don't think the benefits outweigh the risks. YMMV.

When I was at U of I, juniors were typically all grouped together, and I always assumed it was so that they weren't comparing lists with Frannie Freshman who got all of her top choices every round.

I think, as an active, we did know when junior group was coming, but it wasn't an excuse to slack off. More likely, it meant that we'd move our older girls to the front of the rushing line, so that the juniors were being rushed by other juniors and even seniors, rather than the sophomores who did most of the rushing the rest of the time.

It also mean that we weren't going to ask ridiculous shit like, "oh, which dorm are you living in?" or "why did you choose U of I?"

I know her school. Without saying too much that might give it away, juniors get bids at every house.
