It is obvious that leaders emerge on their own in most cases, but I think the application process (with variance each year as Eric stated) is a good way to bring organization to the whole thing. It also allows students to apply who aren't as well known amongst their peers but the mentors can all see potential. Overall, I think the application process allows the mentors and the graduating seniors to really get a feel for what direction a student wants to take the team in and through an actual plan, not false promises like most elections.
I'm a bigger fan of application/interviews + graduating seniors' recommendations because I've seen it yield more consistent results when it comes to team leadership.
