I think this all depends on the chapter.
For very small chapters it can be hard to have enough experienced members to cover all the offices. The chapter of Delta Sigma Pi that I got initated at was very small, and I (along with a couple of the other people I pledged with) were elected to offices after being initated. Even though none of us (new iniates) were President, we still had an interesting time being accustomed to all the new responsibilities that our new offices entailed because none of us really knew what we were doing! We figured it all out though, and it worked out OK, but..
Being President is a HUGE deal... it takes a lot of time, dedication, and work. IMHO, that particular office is probably better suited for a more experienced member who knows more about the chapter dynamics, responsibilites, and things like that.
