I guess your school routinely graduates people in 4 years...
Well, mine does not. I pledged sophomore year when I transferred in and I got to stay 4 years. I only went alum this fall because I didn't want my parents to pay the dues anymore. We are allowed to stay in as long as we want to! The longest anyone I know has stayed in the chapter is 5 years. There is something called 5th year alumni status. Once you finish your senior year of college, you are allowed to petition to go alum. This means that if you pledged as a sophomore , you can go alum after 3 years in the chapter.
Another thing is that since our school has people that take longer to graduate, we usually ask how long someone has left in school. So we wouldn't pledge a junior who is graduating the next year, but we would consider a junior if she had changed her major or something and that was causing her to have another 2 or 3 years left. Make sense?
