First, when I said they won't go for quantity over quality, I don't mean they'll be small. Colonies strive to be comparable numbers-wise to others on campus. If nationals don't think a chapter can hold their own on a certain campus, they don't invest the time and money. I just meant that they won't hand out bids to everyone who shows up. Also, I'm not ADPi, so I'm speaking in general terms about colonies. Usually, the interviews give you one-on-one, sit down face time, so yes, you should get your chance to shine in that situation. Another thing I've known colonizing chapters to do is put PNMs into groups and assign them a pretend task, like planning a service project. This lets them see how PNMs interact with others and what their strengths might be. Freshmen will probably make up the biggest chunk of new members, but there will be upperclassmen. There will be some who weren't originally interested in being Greek but now they are, or maybe they transferred, but don't go through regular recruitment because they felt they'd be dropped due to class standing...but they see the colony as a great possibility for getting a bid. Others may have tried formal and did get dropped because they were upperclassmen. The reasons will vary, but there will definitely be upperclassmen pursing ADPi, though the majority will be freshmen. Strong upperclassmen are needed, but colonies also look for strong freshmen who can give four solid undergrad years to helping the chapter thrive. :)
