Harder for older students to join?

When I was at TU, that didn't seem to be a problem at all. We even had Juniors for new members.

No, I would say upperclassmen receiving a bid isn't a huge problem at a good 60-70% of schools. But, the ones that ARE hard to get a bid for an upperclassmen comprise a HUGE amount of many NPCs. I would venture to guess there are a few sororities whose SEC numbers alone top that of some of the smaller NPCs total national numbers.

It will of course depend on the size of school, the % of Greeks on campus and has nothing to do with the SEC other than they are all Old South Schools where Greek life is very strong from the good old days where legacies are a prime consideration especially in Sororities. They have enough people who want to join and have families from the GLOs. There fore, the limitations are just that.

If some of the other non snob schools look at the individual, they look at the person, not really the age unless they are seniors.

OP is correct, the idea is to get and keep a member as long as possible to grow through the ranks and help the chapters out over a period of time.
