As the RFM Specialist and NPC Area Advisor for UCLA, I can tell you that this is not true. It is up to each national organization to determine whether or not their chapter wants to fulfill their upperclass Quota, just like every other campus that has an upperclass Quota. It is my understanding that each of the national organizations on campus have decided to participate in the upperclass Quota. The upperclass Quota is determined using the same Quota Range system that is used for freshmen women. There are no mandatory carry figures.
The chapters themselves voted to have an upperclass Quota, as the demographics of UCLA PNMs had shifted and we were losing great women from recruitment because chapters wanted to affiliate freshmen to maintain their class balance.
