What college year did you pledge?

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.

Yep, 24 semester hours, 36 quarter hours. So yes it has been done "freshman" year when someone entered college during the summer, and/or had high school AP credits rransferred and received the number of hours as a second semester "freshman". More likely on a semester system than a quarter system, because of timing.
