However... it is also good to note that if you do wish to enter into alumnae status, you have the option of doing so after you've either:
1.) Completed 4 years of school, or
2.) Been active in the sorority for at least 3 years
So even with this, I could see how chapters might be weary of initiating someone, thinking that they could essentially leave at any time that they wanted after they've finished 4 years of school. As for my chapter, we don't really care. If someone really wants to be part of the chapter, whether they're a freshman or not, and we really like them and would like for them to be part of the sorority, then we allow them to join.
Again, it all depends on where you go to school, and how each chapter views your situation.
