Staying active beyond traditional 4 years of school

[annabella]

Personally I find it a bit odd when people "red shirt" a sorority, but a lot of that is my campus culture.

Here's the thing: if you're taking more than four years to graduate, you probably need the extra semester(s) to really focus on school, not sorority. If your degree program normally takes people more than four years, it's probably a +1 Masters-type thing, i.e., you're technically in grad school after 4 years. So you shouldn't have enough time to devote to being a sorority member anyway.

If you're only taking 3 classes, time management shouldn't be a problem. Check and see what your HQ says on the issue. Also be sure that if you only have those 3 classes that you're still a full time student - that can factor in too.

not necessarily. she said that she will be a few credits short of a double major and may stay an extra semester to complete that additional degree-that does not imply that she couldn't secure a degree in the traditional time frame.
