TCU is a southern school where recruitment is more competitive than at midwestern/northern schools like the BIG 10, so I'm hoping this is true.

Hold on. From the 2018 NPC MOI:
Upperclass quota
Some campuses find the use of an upperclass quota valuable in situations when there is a significant number of upperclassmen who are interested in recruitment, and/or the campus historically matches a low percentage of upperclass potential new members in the recruitment process.
The determination to implement an upperclass quota must be made by the College Panhellenic, before recruitment begins and in consultation with the RFM specialist and the NPC area advisor. Upperclass quota is not the answer for every campus but rather in circumstances that will help place upperclass women who have traditionally not been placed.
Once a Panhellenic votes to establish an upperclass quota, individual chapters may not opt out of accepting those women without consulting their inter/national organization, the fraternity/sorority advisor and the RFM specialist before recruitment begins.
So, you're asking if any Big 10 schools have an upperclass quota? Suggest you look for your school in irishpipe's thread and see if there is an upperclass quota listed for your school. That's the best answer I can give.
PS Sophomores (and above) are never at an advantage during Formal Recruitment. Wanted to disabuse you of that notion. What the upperclass quota does is pretty well explained in the quote I provided from the MOI.
