Colleges Consider 3-Year Degrees To Save Undergrads Time, Money

[aephi alum]

I agree with KSigkid. If you are bound and determined to earn a 4-year degree in 3 years, you're not going to be able to set aside much time for anything besides your studies. Forget sports, forget a cappella singing, forget leadership in any student organization - and forget pledging.

If three-year degree programs were devised so that you earn something between an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree, I suspect that any woman participating in such a degree program would be ineligible for NPC sorority membership. NPC sorority PNMs must be in the process of pursuing a bachelor's degree. Even if a woman in a 3-year program were deemed eligible, she would be participating in recruitment alongside freshmen who would be active dues-paying members for 4 years rather than 3 - so she'd be going into recruitment with one strike against her from the get-go.
