Sorry for getting off subject!

Is it regularly used? As in, do most chapters take the number of juniors/seniors to which they are entitled?

Even if you could take, say, one senior without it counting in your quota, I think I'd really want to know why she suddenly decided that NOW was the time to go through recruitment. This almost sounds too much like AI in my mind.

Juniors are a bit different, especially if your school has a large number of people who transfer in after two years at a CC***. There is still a chance that they will live in the house for a year, you get the additional maturity of a junior in college, and they are less likely to burn out by graduation (and therefore more likely to get involved as an alum right away).

***This was pretty common at my alma mater, because you can't transfer in as a sophomore. I think that it is also true in California, where junior colleges don't have the stigma they do elsewhere, and maybe in some other states where there are branch colleges feeding a flagship.

This is true. A lot of people transfer to the Cal States and the UCs after spending 2 years at a CC. It's highly unlikely for a CSU or UC to admit a transfer after their freshman year unless they were previously dual-enrolled or have enough AP credits to classify them as a junior.
