alum status for 5th year seniors
Any NPC organizations have alumnae status for 5th year seniors?

When I served on EC as an advisor a few years ago, we had a situation where a 5th Year student (not a senior) wanted to go alum. At first we thought she couldn't because she wasn't a senior, but upon checking the Handbook, a student in her 5th year (regardless of class standing) may be considered for alumna status.

Most Greek IHQs have a 4 year and out or Almnus status.

What if a student is taking five or six years to graduate but wants to stay active the whole time? How do organizations view that?

my question is: why would you want to? is one more year of being an active that painful/undesirable to an UG in a 5 year program that they'd want alum status?
and what if said 5th year senior was initiated as an upperclassman?
asking as an outsider here.

I believe it is an option. So if you are a 5th year senior you CAN go alum, but you may also chose to stay as an active. It is a choice, not a "it's year #5 for you, you are outta here".

One of my sisters last year went alum for her 5th year here. She wanted to focus on her last few major classes and besides, why pay 400.00 in dues when you don't have to? It's not like she cut ties with us, she's come to chapter and even lives with some sisters

I took alumna status as a 5th year senior and I was initiated when I was a junior. It was just the right thing for me to do at the time.
I'm pretty certain that my scenario wouldn't fly with Kappa Delta these days. I think you now have to be an active for 4 years before you can take alumna status. Can any KDs clarify?
