The time committment will be much higher for a new group. Our founder's (last of them graduated last year) spent probably at least 10 hours a week. but now we have that more trimmed, I would say 5-6 hours is pretty standard. Remember burn out. this is a big advantage of allowing seniors to hold office. You have more eligable people, you can spread the work loads out. And they trying to make sure that the extremely hard classes won't conflict with the job. Our poor recruitment dir. has genetics and she is way stressed. Anyhow, not the point. Seniors are hard to deal with because they (well maybe not in a new org) have ideas of how they entered the house and that can be frustrating, but it still is important to have them involved. After being in AST for 3 years i see why we do stuff they way we do it in way i never realized before. That knowledge is extrememly valuable. Good Luck!!!!
