In my opinion, I don't think UC quota is much of a factor. It seems like it is hard to find out which schools even have a UC quota. And, even with it, chapters don't seem to be pressured to take that quota like they are the "normal" quota. I think the rise is more likely due to the free advertising that social media provides, increased disposable income of parents (or, the willingness of parents to spend any amount on their kid whether they can actually afford it or not), kids who are used to having a very scheduled social life, and an increase in people going to college. I do like the UC quota though, and wish more schools used it.
