I think such a girl could understand that from the group's perspective, they may not want to risk pledging her because many of the groups' policies would allow her to go alum in her fifth year of school even if she had only been a member for two years.

What a young women might say when she wants a bid and what she might want after two years might be different and it's a risk for the groups, and any girl in a similar situation should know in advance what the deal is.

While this is true it doesn't necessarily mean that offering a bid to a junior is a waste.

Anyone can be a "risk." Freshmen and sophomores can just as easily de-pledge or resign their membership.

Yep, but my point is that a PNM shouldn't assume if she's at college where typically upperclassmen don't get bids, that the fact she actually needs more time to graduate counts for anything.

Agreed.
Not being condescending or rude, just want to make sure you know that the OP, shadokat, is not a PNM. She's an alumna of an NPC.
