I am only speaking about alumnae membership. And again, I don't think we can do anything about this rightfully since these persons have achieved their Bachelor's degree, online or otherwise.
And on a different note, did you go to Boule?

If i understand you correctly, I never said (or meant to insinuate) that women pursuing membership on the alumnae level shouldnt be able to if they got their UG degree from such institutions. I was looking at it from a purely undergraduate perspective, actually.
However, if someone DID pursue my alumnae chapter in this scenario, the question (from me) wouldnt be "why didn't you pursue us in UG?" because it would be (likely) obvious that membership wasn't an option (or not a priority) at that time.
Which, IN THIS CASE, i would be OK with, because again, IMO, if you are pursuing higher education through these nontraditional routes (community college, trade school, online) then your pursuit of higher education (and circumstances) are probably non-traditional (ie. working full time, an older students, have children, can't afford the time/money to attend an institution that affords the privilege and access to pursing our membership).
If there are reasons outside those above, well then you forfeit your right (on the undergraduate level). Besides, a candidate is more than their GPA and what type of school they attended (on the graduate level, at least), so i wouldn't get uber hung up on it.
No, I didn't attend Boule, but heard it was good times. Saving my pennies for 2012 - I need to stop frontin, i'll have been 7 years in by then. No excuses!
