I don't know -- if someone is too busy to join a sorority during her first three years of college, what's the point by the time she's a senior? If it was that important to her, she could've made it more of a priority.

My little didn't join till she was a senior because all her friends up till that point were very anti-Greek. After hanging out with nice Greek people for a summer, she reconsidered and probably put more into her two semesters than some people did four years.
Different people come to things at different times. I would a thousand times rather have someone join as a junior or a senior and be very active for that period and continue as alumnae, than join as a pre-freshman because everyone else was rushing and quit halfway through her junior year because she's burned out, and never have anything to do with the sorority again.
The only reason groups want freshmen is they (theoretically) pay dues for four years. Not because they'll be better or more involved members. But as I've said so many times, if half your pledge class is gone by graduation, what's the point? You would have been as far ahead to pledge the upperclassmen.
