Like 33girl, I saw 2 seniors initiated into my chapter, BUT

-One of them made it clear how much she really wanted to be involved as an alumna - after she graduated, she helped start the alumnae chapter in town, she's now an advisor for another chapter in the area, and she attends nearly all of the alumnae events our chapter holds.

My chapter even initiated someone who was a little older and married (with kids!), but she attended all of our scheduled events, never made excuses, held Exec Board positions, and was more dedicated than some of the sisters who were 18 with nearly no other responsibilities (aside from schoolwork).

I don't know which school you attend or how competitive your recruitment is, but most likely, you're going to have to REALLY stand out if you want to get a bid. I don't mean to discourage you.. just telling it like it is.

Good luck!
