D9 Requirements

[Sororitysock]

What part of "accredited 4-year college or university" do you not understand? No matter what you call it, a "Bachelor's Degree" from one of those institutions is not a Bachelor's and no one in the outside world would ever confuse it with one.

Or ask yourself this. If the D9 organizations consider degrees from these schools as legitimate educational foundations for membership, then why are there not D9 collegiate chapters at these institutions?

This is the key to the question. The D9 websites are clear and it should be up to the aspirant (?) to understand her qualifications relative to the information given. If a 2-year "city college" is not an "accredited 4-year college", then there's your answer.

For what it's worth, DeVry University earned regional accreditation starting in 2002. Kaplan University also had regional accreditation prior to being bought out by Purdue University in 2017. So, depending on when the student graduated, DeVry and Kaplan should technically meet the standard. That said, schools which use competency based education models (awarding credit for professional work or military experience) are perhaps not seen in the same light as a regular brick and mortar university.

However, none of us strangers on the internet could possibly know your situation, your qualifications, or how an organization might perceive the college you attended. If you have contacts in the organization, you should use them.

I attended a regular 4 year college, & I know the requirements. I & someone else we're curious being that they both are Bachelor's in their own field. I explained to someone else earlier that I know they're not equal was just saying yah know... But thanks

You should read the replies I made before you do commented. I clarified my stance on that. Geesh. Y'all are hella fiesty 😂 it was just a question out of curiosity.

Your "clarification" simply comes off as someone trying to bend the rules to fit their agenda. The requirements are clearly stated on each organization's web site, and that is the information intended for non-members. You came here to ask questions you know shouldn't be asked by a non-member. Those who KNOW you won't answer them. If you're so "curious," ask those people.

But I'm really not tho. This was literally just a question... Not saying that's the route I'm going. Just a LITERAL question. There are other BGLO's that do this even though it is not stated on their orgs website... But either way... Just a question geesh... Throw the whole thread away 😂💀

You seem rather invested in digging up an answer you're not entitled to for "a friend."
