I don't know if this is the way it is for Phi Mu everywhere, but in our chapter, we get our new pledge class in January. The next chapter meeting is informal, so the pledges can come, but the next one is formal and that is when elections for 6 of our exec 9 posistions (Pres, VP, secretary, Treasurer, Membership Director, New Member Director) are held. The new members don't come to that meeting, so it would be impossible for them to run. The other three posistions (Panhel Delegate and 2 rotating Panhel posistions) are voted for in November, so theoretically someone who had been initiated just the semester before could be elected to one of those posistions. We install the pres, vp, secretary, treasurer, membership, and new member at the first meeting after the Phis are initiated, and then shortly thereafter, they can apply to be on Jr. Exec (posistions like philanthropy, family involvement, alumni relations, community service, intramurals, campus activities, pr, etc)
It works out well for us.
