Perhaps some of the orgs make exeptions for those in medical or professional settings that do not require the BS for success on the job.

Hmm, this is an interesting topic. I see both sides of this arguement. But I think tcsparky had an interesting point. What about those people that really don't need to go on and pursue their education further? Just like tcsparky said, if LaJasmine can go ahead, get her Associate's degree, get a great job, make a satisfactory (to her) amount of money and is satisfied w/ her education level....then why should she go and shell out more loot to get a B.A.? I mean, I see WHY (b/c it is, of course, beneficial to do so), but if she really can't afford it or is satisfied w/ what she has accomplished, then what should she do about her desire of joining a sorority?
B/c I'm in a new GLO, we do not have alum chapters yet, so I don't know how alum chapters work w/ orgs that have them. But if I'm not mistaken, don't you have to hold a BA to be considered for an alum chapter? If so, that kinda sucks for LaJasmine if she is satisfied w/ her degree already. It just seems a little messed up that she can't pursue membership, even though she did go and get an education. I mean, that's the bottom line...she DID pursue an education. I mean, she could've just decided to work or whatever and not think twice about educating herself. I don't know, I just found all this interesting. It just seems kinda disappointing that although she did take the initiative to get an education period, she'll have to do more. I know that it's GOOD...hell it's GREAT to do more and get that Masters, Ph.D. or what have you. I know I plan to go and get my Masters once I finish, but that's me. Some people don't need all that to be fulfilled, ya know what I'm saying? I also know that it's also the policy of the orgs and she'll just have to respect that too. I don't know, maybe it's late and I need to go to bed
