Theoretically, yes - but quota is usually set based on how many PNMs attend pref parties, so that presupposes that the juniors don't get cut before that point.
If 100 freshmen sign up for rush, and XYZ's return rates are such that they have to release 50% after round 1, ok, they're inviting back 50 freshmen. If 100 freshmen and 50 juniors sign up for rush, they'd have to release 75 PNMs (50%), and they could decide to release all the juniors and 25 of the freshmen.
I wish separate junior/senior or soph/junior/senior quotas were more widely used... it's a shame that at so many schools, if you don't get in freshman year, forget it.
