ABC Family new series: "Greek"

[ASUADPi]

I hate Rebecca about as much as I hate Frannie

I get it's a show and all but seriously, since when can a 5th year actually stay active in a house and stay President? I remember my diamond sister actually thinking about asking the chapter (and whomever else she needed to ask) if she could stay active for a 5th year because she wasn't going to graduate until a 5th year (if that makes any sense at all).

I was bummed that it was Jenn K who wrote the article, I was really hoping it was Rebecca, but then again it would have been "typical" Rebecca (with the way her character was portrayed this season).

Boooooo to Cappie and Rebecca shacking up. Ick! I need my Cappie and Casey back together and pronto!

I also would really like to know what transpired when Casey was a Freshman, when Cappie and Evan were roommates.

Why wouldn't she be able to stay a 5th year as an active? I could forsee her not getting re-elected as Pres. or maybe something about consecutive terms but... I didn't realize that there were sororities who booted you after your 4th year was over. Maybe that's just because my school has a lot of people who take more than 4 years to graduate...

I apologize for not mentioning the year but this was back in 1998. I remember when I started college in Fall 97, it was pretty much the expectation to finish college in 4 years not 5. Things have definately changed in 9.5 years, so who's not to say that the rules are different.

Remember though with the whole "4 year" thing, the expectation is that you take 15 hours a semester. That way you get your 120 hours in 4 years. Alot more people are only taking 12 hours a semester, especially the harder the major is for them (or the harder the classes). If you only do 12 hours a semester, it will take you 5 years.

Booted sounds really harsh. They just aren't active, obviously they are still members, just alums. Plus, the seniors when I was a freshman, hardly did anything in the first place and they were all on the 4 year plan (minus my big). My big was one of the few who was petitioning for a 5th year, but she was an active senior.

Additionally, not all degrees require only 120 hours.
