In Alpha Gam, you have to be initiated to hold office but it works pretty well for us.
To be President, you have to have been a Chapter Council officer before and normally be a member of the Junior class (school wise). To be Property Coordinator, you have to have lived on the hall at some point. I'm almost positive you have to have gone through Recruitment on the members' side to be VP Recruitment.

Normally we have Initiation early in November and elections mid-November.

Unfortunately there's always the chance of losing an officer or two at the beginning of January or the next Fall.

Over the years, I've seen newly initated members do a terrific job and somtimes the "older" members not, lol. But it evens out.
