Not out of line, but we did do senior slating in our chapter as well. However any chapter member (blah blah criteria blah) could be nominated for a position, and being slated didn't mean you were always a sure thing, though it certainly helped.

In theory the seniors have been there the longest and put in the most time and effort. I suspect chapter size is also relevant here.

Boosting participation requires the carrot and the stick, and it may mean that advisors need to step in in this case and enforce the chapter/national bylaws if they're not being followed.
