A ZTA served as the VP(president in waiting) and served as the president the next year. The other officers alternated between Tri Delta and ZTA. When Chi O colonized, they were worked into the rotation..same with KD, and when Phi Mu becomes a chapter, they will be worked into the rotation too. Maybe Arizona could look into that system.

Thanks; with your permission, I'll share that information with the Greek Life Office. They seem to select Panhellenic officers by election; women apply for positions, and there's some sort of voting (I'm hazy on the details) and the system you've described might improve all the chapters' participation.

Actually, thanks to all who responded! Ideally there would be a cross section of representation. Ideally.

Hi sorry on the late post. But once KD came on, Panhellenic actually voted to do away with the rotation system since certain women in panhellenic chapters would never have the opportunity to even apply to be President/VP due to way rotations went. Now it is a interview process.
