It depends on Gamma Phi's policy on 5th years. Every sorority has a different policy on this.

Tri Sigma allows 5th year students to either remain active or become alumnae.

We always had a couple of 5th years (as did other chapters who allowed 5th years to remain active).

Something else to consider would be your campus culture regarding staying active.

At some schools, even if a sorority allows 5th year students to remain active, it is pretty unheard of and most will take alumna status when their class graduates (this is usually important in schools where no one takes a 5th year and all seniors graduate together).
