I don't know what I can offer the OP here that others haven't already said.

I would perhaps highlight the fact that you have to start thinking outside of your box, especially if you're going to post on CD.

Take my team for example, this year, we pushed close to 30 regularly attending members. Our PR "squad" has been doing excellent work, and we're expecting anywhere from 20-30 new members next year. Now, we can neither sustain a team of that size (as of now) nor see fit to that kind of growth, so we're implementing a tiny application system to see what kind of students we're really getting.

Now, take the very innocent scenario above, and add a slightly more intense variables. A sustainable team of 45 or 50 regular members? An extremely successful program? I hope you can understand why applications serve the better interest of not only the current team, but also of the new members to eventually join.
