Senior Apathy?

[Benzgirl]

It depends on when elections are held. Many chapters hold mid-year elections, thus Sophomore and Juniors almost need to take over the roll. Otherwise, a graduating senior will need to vacate her office half-way into the term.

We never had issues with keeping specifically seniors engaged. They were like any other member when it came to . But, priorities of seniors are different than underclassmen (interviewing, internships, wrapping up their thesis). I know one quarter during my senior year, I had a class (the only time it was offered the entire year) conflicting with the chapter meeting. It was forgiven, since class always was a priority over the sorority.

We did put have speakers come in for the seniors on interviewing skills and dress. We also had a professional recruiter (an alum) come in to critique resumes. That went over very well. Typically, seniors still participated in social activities, so that was never a problem.
