Would it feel like we were watering down our respective orgs, by lowering our expectations? Are we limiting ourselves by not tapping into the potential of those that either aren't or feel their career path does not include a four year degree?

No. In this day and age, people have access to college more than ever before. It's enough that some honorary members (for the orgs that still allow honoraries) don't have college degrees.
I also pray that we never allow collegiates from online schools like University of Phoenix even if they had some classes in a classroom; and never allow alumnae/alumni/graduate members with an online bachelors degree from online schools like University of Phoenix. That's not to be confused with colleges and universities that have online courses, hybrid course, and online degree components.
We aren't limiting ourselves by not considering those without 4 year degrees and we aren't starving for members.
