I guess my real question is if a candidate waits a year to rush to what is the negative asspect form the organizations perspective that would make them favor a freshman?

At the schools where freshmen are preferred (at many it does not matter so much), the thought process is that there are so many fantastic women rushing that you can fill up an entire pledge class with just freshmen. If all else is equal between two women, why wouldn't you want the one who will be in the chapter for four years rather than two?
In addition, women who join as juniors are less likely to be involved (obviously there are exceptions). They already have other groups of friends, are members of other organizations, could care less about socializing with primarily freshmen and are in time consuming classes.
