Also,
As far as our Philo group, the only requirement they don't meet is that they aren't on their path to a 4 year degree. There are many extenuating circumstances in people's lives that wouldn't allow them to aim for a bachelors, money being a main reason. Many of us have to realize that we have been BLESSED to be able to attend a college or university. (whether we're on scholarship, financial aid, or paying out-of-pocket)But just because you can't attach your name to a 4 year program, that doesn't mean that you can't be good representatives of the PRINCIPLES of my organization: primarily sisterhood, service and scholarship. (Keep in mind that when I say scholarship, I mean a belief in its importance.) As our Zeta sisterfriend stated about their Amicae, our Philos are also encouraged to obtain their 4 year degree. And the sorority will help them with that in any conceivable way.
When and if the time comes that they enroll in a 4 year program, they would go about obtaining membership as any other interest would. The only thing is, that they already would know what a Sigma woman stands for, and what we expect.
