What college year did you pledge?

[SapphireSphinx9]

I became a Founding New Member in Fall '00, my 1st semester of Freshman year... And became a Sister in Spring '01, 2nd semester of Freshman year. (I was one of a handful of the youngest Founders - everyone else were mostly Juniors, Seniors or in the Graduate program)

I pledge in the Spring of 1996. I was in my second semester of my freshman year of college.

My RUSH experience was a little different than most since I was a Founding Sister of my Chapter. I pledged and was initiatied in the Spring of 2007 when I was a 1st semester Senior.

Part of the reason is that for most NPHC orgs you must be at least a sophomore to pledge.

That's often based on credit hours. So you can be a 1st year in "sophomore standing." But most people reach sophomore standing in their 2nd year.

I pledged Junior year.

I pledged my sophomore fall (Fall 2005)...our school has deferred recruitment so only sophmores can rush.

So I went through Rush again, this time as a Junior during Spring 2000. I'm glad I went through as a Junior because I knew what I wanted in a sorority experience and in a sister.

wow, now i know what OTW is...

actually i think most NPHC orgs you have to have a minimum of 12 credits, therefore meaning second semester freshman...but it must be that alot of schools dont allow freshmen to got thru Intake.

Some require 12 credits.

But most require sophomore status which is generally 24 credits. That's why people tend to be sophomores (and up).
