I guess they don't really "have to" but it's a way to take anyone who isn't a freshman without losing a freshman spot in quota. You get 54 frosh and six non-frosh.

It makes it easier for non-freshman to get bids. It was hard at UGA, and this is new this year.

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.

OHhh KSUViolet how i love you and your knowledge. So is official quota 54 or 62?

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?

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?

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

Others just learn stuff by reading it here.

If there weren't, wouldn't the quota be lower?

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.

Some results from our little Georgia corner of the world: 3 new Chi Omegas (2 were Chi O legacies, one was a DZ legacy), 2 Phi Mus (one a legacy), 1 Zeta Tau Alpha. Lately, from our hometown, most girls have been going Zeta, so this is a little different this year. I am actually thrilled about the Chi O new members; it's been a long time since we've had any from Georgia. Same for ADPi (sigh). (But we did get some at new ADPis at Auburn this year).
