Interesting theory about the 1950s. I heard an additional explanation just yesterday. He said, "Once a girl becomes a senior she's lost to the sorority, deep into her major and possibly interning. They make their contributions from freshman through junior year. Plus," he said, "there's some PanHel rule that will not allow women in post-graduate studies to be active in the sorority. So it's hard for a sorority tio get much out of juniors, and vice versa."

Oh I agree, what's written and what actually happens aren't the same thing.
Some sororities have policies that seniors don't have to show up at all events...I think a lot of times that's not the problem, that the seniors are just burned out because they've been doing this since before they were even official freshmen.
There is no Panhel rule that says grad students can't be active. This varies by sorority. Many groups do allow grad students to be involved if THEY want to, but it isn't required because of the rigors of grad school.
