I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on this point. (Not trying to attack, this is just my experience with the issue).
My university is pretty heavily Greek (more than 1/3 of the students of a population of about 3500). I went through formal recruitment as a sophomore, and while I'm saying that sororities don't specifically cut women because they're not freshmen, there is a tendency for the older PNM's to get lost in the shuffle. Because (edited to fix: total instead of quota) is only 53 girls, sororities are very conscientious of taking "too many" of a certain class size. One of our top sororities was in the position going into my senior year that they lost 30 sisters through graduation. It was a tough loss for them, but they came back and did an excellent COR and Formal Recruitment.
I'm not saying that at all smaller schools that class year does matter, just that it did matter at my university.
