The campus I advise on has a seperate upperclassmen quota too. It's almost like having 2 different recruitments going on at the same time even though all the pnm's attend the same parties. Chapters are given 2 sets of invitation numbers for each round, 1 for Freshmen and 1 for upperclassmen. We submit 2 Bid Lists and there are 2 quotas set.
Okay, say I pref 2 sororities, A and B. Sorority "A" got 13 new freshmen (now sophomores) last year and Sorority "B" got 23. Based on those numbers, am I more likely to get a bid to sorority A?
In other words, does my chance of getting into a sorority through upperclassmen quota have anything to do with the number of already active members in the same class year as me?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong: Your chances probably depend more on the actual # of upperclassmen going through recruitment compared to the # of upperclassman quota spots. If there are more upperclassmen than upperclassmen quota spots, competition for those spots is going to be tough. If you are at a school with upperclassman quota, chances are that the sororities there aren't going to go out on a limb and take on an extra upperclassman under REGULAR quota. So the only chance to receive a bid as a sophomore or above at some schools is under the separate quota.

Quota has nothing to do with the existing members, only the PNMs.
