The chapter I advise now has a sophomore president and she is really very good. She had been an officer previously, although not on Exec.
I didn't even know the rule about Presidential candidates needing to serve on Exec until I was on the slating committee following my term as EVP senior year. My chapter had deferred recruitment (so no one could take positions until their 2nd year since elections were in December and rush was in January) and was pretty large (around 200) and therefore was very, very competitive for positions - it would have been unheard of for a sophomore to be on Exec.
