Alabama has had a separate upperclassmen (any non-freshman) quota for several years. Prior to this, it was nearly impossible for anyone who wasn't a freshman to receive a bid unless she was a campus superstar with a gazillion in-house friends. The number of upperclassmen participating in Recruitment has grown every year since its implementation.
It is my understanding that NPC does not have any specific rules/policies governing a separate quota at this time. However, they encourage campuses that face those non-freshmen prejudices to look into and considerate it.
At Alabama, it's treated like 2 separate Recruitments that occur simultaneously (i.e. 2 sets of invite numbers, 2 bid lists, etc.) For the first time this year ICS provided separate upperclassmen screens which made it even easier to manage.
As to effecting housing requirements, I don't understand your question. Then again, at Bama the houses typically sleep between 40-60 and Chapter Average is just shy of 270. So filling the houses isn't usually a problem. That's what happens when Total skyrockets, yet the physical houses remain the same size.
