I think that it all depends on the girl. If she is willing to up with it or not.

My Big sister was elected President her freshman year. A couple of weeks after she was initated. She was very active and is now a traveling counsultant for us. We have had many freshman girls that step up that want to have big positions and other that perfer a smaller position.

Many girls chose our chapter because they have the chance to become a leader right after initation unlike the other chapter that sometimes only give them small ones when they want a big position.

Its not that a girl will get burned out because of the sorority, but because of everything that is going on in her life....school, homework, work, family,etc. It all depends on her.

As for early initation I don't think that there is a problem with it. I was initated 5 weeks after accepting my bid. I think it was a great idea. Yes there is a lot to learn and 5 weeks isn't enough time to learn it all but thats what the rest of the time in college and life is for. You never stop learning. Last semester we had the NM initated after 8 week. I thought that it just made them feel out of place. Many of the said after they were initated they felt like they finally belonged or that they were official. I really don't think that the period in which they get initated is a big deal. I personally perfer the faster the better.
