Assuming you are talking about a traditional formal recruitment, an upperclassmen quota is based on the total number of upperclassmen participating in recruitment. There is no correlation to the number of freshmen participating. Chapters may not make their freshmen quota, yet still make their upperclassmen quota. I have known of chapters that received upperclassmen quota additions even though they didn't make freshmen quota. As I said it is like having two entirely separate recruitments going on at the same time.

It's actually a misnomer. "Upperclassmen Quota" is how I've always heard it referred to on the campuses that use this process. A more accurate term would be "Non-Freshmen Quota".
