I agree that younger members should try to take on small leadership roles at first, such as recruitment committees, assisting new member educators, planning philanthropies and fundraisers. This is how they can prepare for bigger roles on exec in your chapter. You just have to eventually trust the newer sisters, that they will carry the chapter into the future. They can do it, they have great role models to look up to!
I don't agree that a 6th year senior would be a bad president, because when you think of it, she has seen 5 or maybe more presidents serve terms. She could improve upon what all of them did. She knows your ritual and traditions. As long as she is enthusiastic and has the time, I think an older member is the perfect president. What could a 22 or 23 year old have in common with freshmen? They are all sisters of course. They share the same ideals, purpose and live by the same motto. When you share ritual with someone, you are closer than friends, you are sisters. Sisters are for life.
AOT to all my sisters in Kappa Delta!
