LaJay, you have good questions and concerns, and I'm sure others who attend junior colleges have the same questions regarding membership into BGLOs. The only dumb question is one that is NEVER asked, so don't let ignorant people (who don't register on greekchat.com) make you feel like you've done something wrong.
Many of these organizations were established while the Founders attended institutions namely, Howard, Cornell, Indiana University, Butler University, Morgan State and thus a precedence has been set.
Nothing is wrong with junior colleges. Many people attend junior colleges then go on to attend 4 year institutions...my mother did it and I have a line sister who did it too. So it's not like you can't express an interest just because you attend a junior college, you just can't be invited to join while at the junior college.
I don't doubt that you have the intelligence to attend a 4 year college or university, so my recommendation to you is once you graduate from the junior college with your associate's degree, by all means enroll in a 4 year institution to pursue your bachelor's degree.
It has nothing to do with being more likely to afford, being smarter than anyonge else, or anything that you mentioned. I will allow one of my fellow Greeks brothers or sisters to address this topic. There's more that I can say, but I know there are others out there who can simplify it. I'm going to step back and allow them to go for it.
