Although I can completely see where you are coming from in wanting to recruit from this very large pool of women I can also see the alternative point of view. As a nursing student I can say that the two years spent in my upper nursing major were extremely strenuous with clinical and classes that are very time consuming and important. I don't think I would have been able to balance being a new member (which brings a time committment many women need to adjust to) and still maintain the focus I wanted in nursing clinicals.
Additionally, I have been on the Panhellenic Council at my school for the past two years in two different positions (President and VP Standards). I held these positions during my Junior and Senior year. I feel that most women that become really involved within their chapter or the Greek community do not do so until their second or third year. It would be difficult for a chapter if half or a quarter of the membership was not able to become involved to this level because they would be graduating soon after joining.
