About 3-4 miles, I think?

I think with Summer School, etc...?

Not sure, pretty sure it used to just be a 2 year jr. college back in the day, but now I'm not entirely sure.

Agreed. I think everyone thinks it makes sense and talks a great game, but for reasons Tichou mentions below, I can see how it might become an issue for some of the chapters.

Exactly. This is why there are so many unknowns at this point. Will be interesting to see if A&M publishes some sort of pledge percentage of BT ladies. My understanding is that BT ladies ARE considered A&M students, so as a technicality, they are able to rush/pledge...?? Someone who understands the intricacies of the BT program can probably explain better
