When I joined I was technically a 1st semester freshman (post secondary credits) and the experience opened me up to involvement. At a small school, giving you something to be involved in as opposed to packing your bags and going home every weekend keeps you connected with the university and more likely to stay at the campus. Its just like recruitment...you have to make a connection and give people a reason to stay...without a reason to stay you go somewhere else. For a campus where involvement is key to keeping people at the University, giving them options to stay would be more likely to encourage retention.
