We count from when you first entered school, and you can go 4 years (possibly 5 depending on the chapter). So since you are a senior, even though you might have 3 years left, you would NOT get those 3 years as a collegiate.

Different NPCs have different policies regarding whether a 5th year can remain active. I believe this would be a (Inter)National Policy rather than a chapter policy, but I could be mistaken.

My sorority allows 5th years the option to remain active or go alum. My chapter had a 5th year remain active and live in the house during her 5th year.

Other NPCs require 5th years to go alum.

I'm not sure if any NPCs require 5th years to remain active until graduation.

Ahh ok, good to know. I didn't know if other NPCs allowed 6th+ years (and according to fantASTic, AST does), but my understanding was my sorority doesn't.

I know we allow 5th year students as well, but after the 5th year you had to go alum even if you hadn't graduated yet.
