It would be awful, IMO, to tell her that just as she is starting to really blossom as a member, that she has to go alum.
Exactly. Especially because, as you pointed out earlier, at many campuses, new member classes aren't made up entirely of freshmen. At my school, it's not uncommon to have juniors, and sometimes seniors join. To tell them after they've been a sister for less than 2 years that they'd have to leave would be disappointing.

Again, I just think that to have a rule like this across an entire organization can hinder the potential progress that some chapters could make. Just my opinion.
