^^^Similar thing with my school. The sophomore/junior thing wasn't a big deal because KSU has 7 branch campuses and it was pretty common for people to spend 2 years at a branch (for monetary reasons or others) then transfer into the main campus.
Most of the time, the soph/junior women were GREAT for the reasons you listed above (raises hand!) I think I am a more involved alumna because I joined later and didn't have the 4 year burnout that a lot of women had who were in my age group but joined as freshmen.
Example: my grandbig and I graduated at the same time (and we're the same age), but she took longer to get involved in alumnae life due to having been super involved (2 officer terms and 2 years living-in) since freshman year. I was pretty ready to jump in because I had only had 2.5 years under my belt.
