Is there any justification behind only taking freshmen?
This is also a long term numbers and financial aspect to it. Here's what I mean, at Fantasy U quota is the same every year and there's 100% retention.

ABC chapter pledges quota of all freshmen in the fall every year. Therefore they lose the same amount of seniors every year after graduation as they pledge in the following recruitment.

DEF chapter also pledges quota every fall, but they have a mix of years in their class. After time some classes (year in school-wise) get larger than others. You can end up having more graduating seniors than next recruitment's quota. Then chapter total decreases which means less collected in dues, and/or budget cuts, and/or COR (time, effort and expense there too).
