You must circle the year in school that you are based on your credits. The registrar's office will confirm your year in school. Once your application is submitted, the campus Panhellenic will further verify your credit hours and year in school.

To alert the sororities that you will have a few more years due to your double majors, secure recommendations and letters of support from alumnae that will be sent to the chapters on your behalf. The recommenders can discuss that you still have quite a bit of time left. Additionally, when you go through recruitment, you can mention this to the sorority women you meet so that they are aware.

You will still likely experience cuts due to your class status, but you can mitigate as best you can with the recommendations and by telling your story at recruitment. Don't just blurt it out-- you'll likely be asked your major, and then you can tell the members that you transferred but because of your studies you have X more years and you're excited at the prospect of being an active sorority member during that time.

We are not talking about a school that where recs are required, or even suggested.

Be that as it may, she wants to spread the word that she has more time in school left and a recommendation letter would be an obvious marketing strategy.
