It's more likely they are thinking about bigs or something logistical like HQWest mentioned...absoutely NOTHING personal about any of the girls who are rushing.
This isn't necessarily true. In California public schools (not sure where the OP is in school) we can have relatively large UC quotas because of rules allowing transfers from community colleges. For example, at Davis last year we had 29 for our freshman/sophomore quota and 9 for our junior quota!

Upperclass quota at UCLA is in the double digits.
The university has a large enrollment that transfers in as sophomores, juniors and seniors, that so many high-quality women (GPA, activities, leadership, community service) would be practically shut out if recruitment was geared mainly toward freshmen. Chapters are NOT required to take a full UC quota, but most do since the UC women are so accomplished.

I'll be writing recs for 4 remarkable UC PNMs for recruitment next month (UCLA is on the quarter system & doesn't start until Sept. 24th).

Additionally, UCLA has QAs for international students that are only spending 1 year at the university. The Chi O chapter has had some recent members from London, Paris & Thailand, who have added so much to the chapter.

UCSD is stopping its program that guarantees transfer to community college students that meet the requirements. They'll be using those spots to go after higher tuition out of state students instead. This will eventually reduce the number of 3rd year PNMs and overall quota.

I guess I have a dumb question, then. Why hasn't the culture of the school (or any UC school) just naturally changed out of the mindset that freshman = better? In that instance, it seems like as long as you have an upperclass quota, even one set so large, that is what you are saying. If the women haven't learned by now that upperclassmen are wonderful members who often end up staying around longer (i.e. not dropping out) and contributing more than someone who joins as a freshman, what more will it take?

Because a 1st year still equals more potential continuous years of membership and dues.

Is this applicable to UCSD only, or are the other UC Campuses planning to follow suit? I have friends who are planning to transfer to UCSD and UCI, and this information would be of benefit to them.

But it doesn't always work that way!!!

When you look around to see who's left from your (example) Fall 2008 class of 50 freshmen, 30 sophomores, and 10 juniors and the numbers are 35, 28, and 10, wouldn't you figure it out at some point? I mean don't they analyze this at all? Most of our terminees (if that is a word) were those who had pledged as early as they could, not the other way around.

Wow, I had no idea. I thought this was state-mandated some how or at least affected funding. Maybe the lack in funding is more than made up for by OOS tuition?

As I've stated on another thread, we have significant problems with the junior transfers from CCs. The vast majority don't adapt well, academically, to UCD at all.
