IMHO, it depends on the person and the situation.

For instance, when I entered into my undergrad chapter I was a GRAD student. How you may ask? It was simple, I am registered in a 5 yr program where I receive my BS & MS within 5 yrs. The University never confers a degreee until you are finished with the entire program.

So thus I have never actually graduated, but all my transcripts and records indicate that I am clearly a GRAD student. I even received a letter from the Dean of the School of Business welcoming me to the Graduate School.

I received all my job offers including my current position based on the fact that I "have" or "have met the requirements for a B.S." .

When I applied, the question asked was do you have a degree, and that answer is NO (technically). Thus, I was admitted into the undergraduate chapter.

Though I am older than my LS's, when it comes to Alpha Kappa Alpha we are on equal footing. My eduational level nor my age interfere with any of our goals as a chapter.

I can see why my Sorors & fellow Greeks feel that Grad and Undergrad should be seperate. However, like I said it depends on the person and the situation.

Are you at FAMU? I know it has a BA/MBA program that takes five years.
