That's not what I was talking about at all. I was talking about juniors and seniors I knew who joined as opposed to the OP, not as opposed to freshmen.

You sound more like a mom than a sister. The older (junior and senior) girls I knew who pledged were completely devoid of mom-like qualities - in other words, they were on the same level as the rest of the girls in the chapter.
Yes, it is fulfilling to feel like you're helping someone that way, but you can't come in as a pledge and start to do it. If that's what you're looking for, then again, I recommend that you try to grow the organization you already belong to.
