I think if the potential new member indicates that she wants to be active until she graduates, even if it is longer than four years, that would make a difference. But not all older rushees to let us know that so it's hard to assume.

In ADPi they can go alum status after four years...my chapter, we had many sisters who remained active after their fourth year so that they could give as much as they could to the chapter....you're right that it does depend on the chapter, and that a number of PNMs don't talk about staying active past their "senior" year, but I really feel that as more and more "older" PNMs are going through recruitment, this is something that we as sorority members need to ask and find out what their goals for involvement is....it's a two way street, they should feel open to talk to us about what their plans are, but we need to be interested enough in them to ask if they don't volunteer the information.
