So how does having that quota benefit the upperclassmen, and for what reason are chapters carrying more upperclassmen forward with the separate quota?

If each chapter is gaining the same number of members either way, and they would prefer to have more freshmen, what is "forcing" them to take non-freshmen?
UC quota is voluntary for the chapters. So they may take one or all 8. And you are still looking at the freshman quota as an overall quota....in a way. The chapters will tend to release UC women early and so those women drop out. The odds that you would have 100 women left at the end of recruitment is less likely with no UC quota and more likely with it. UC quota, in Cajun French terms,is lagniappe- a little something extra that doesn't cost you anything...
