When I was a student (in the dark ages), we had two exchange students that lived in our house. The first stayed for one year. It was such a great experience that two years later we invited another to live with us. The second became so close with our members, she was extended a bid and became a sister.
Living in the house when they were not members was an issue during meetings and rituals. However, we were able to work them out. Both of them had a very positive impact on our house. I think that, while being a senior might be a negative, it is more than balanced by the cultural exposure that is gained. Best of luck.
Concerning upper classmen going through recruitment: sometimes I think that the GLO's are so concerned about having a member for four years that they forget that the commitment is for a lifetime. I know the theory is that the four years will create a stronger bond, but that is not always the case or our alum groups would be so large that they would have difficulty finding places to meet.
