Upperclassmen quotas in no way say "everyone else you take has to be a freshman." They just say "you can take 5 upperclassmen as freebies." Yes, maybe it ends up in practice that everyone in "regular" quota is a freshman, but that's far different than having it written down as policy.

A school can tell groups who they CANNOT take (non-students; students with a GPA lower than Panhel or the school requires for extracurricular involvement; part-time students; students with penii) but aside from whack ass Tufts, they certainly cannot dictate whom they MUST take among the students who meet the criteria.

If a chapter doesn't want to take upperclassmen, even if they're free, really, that is their own damn business.

My point is that they do in fact spread out the class standing of students better. By saying you can only take up to X freshman (not all must be freshmen but they're the only freshmen you get.) and Y upper classmen you've actually lowered quota from X+Y to X. It's not a huge amount of redistribution, but it is some.

A mandate isn't required, few chapters will intentionally take less than quota, similarly few chapters will take less than UC Quota. The result is what I think Mevara was getting at, not the law.

Not doing it, just interpreting it. You do get that, right?

No, I didn't. It didn't come off that way and I didn't read our ~mysterious~ Greektrolly's post that way. Noted and I apologize, you may unfornicate... on... now. Or something.
