What college year did you pledge?

[Empress0105]

I pledges TBS my second semster, sophomore year, and The Gamma Sig Reactivation process stretched between my second semster junior year and first semester senior year.

LOTS of people pledge stuff at my school thier last semester of enrollment....but then they usually come in larger classes of 30, 40, 50, (or more) people...

[trideltrockstar]

I pledged my sophomore fall (Fall 2005)...our school has deferred recruitment so only sophmores can rush.

So I went through Rush again, this time as a Junior during Spring 2000. I'm glad I went through as a Junior because I knew what I wanted in a sorority experience and in a sister.

wow, now i know what OTW is...

Actually, I know of a lot of American schools that do this, but it's more predominant with technical colleges with an emphasis on computers/engineering/the like. I know both Virginia Tech and NCSU have these types of programs, I have friends in both of them.

My school has the largest co-operative education program in the world... and like the schools you menioned is a very technically based university. (I just can't use the word college - it just means a very different thing up here!)

I don't like to use the word college, unless the institution is actually a College.

Regardless of size, University refers to Institutions with more than one College. For instance, at NCSU we have the College of Humanities and Sciences, the College of Engineering, etc. There are Universities with 3,000 students (and less) and there are Universities with over 30,000 students.

Anyway, that's one of my peeves. End of hijack

What does the word 'college' mean in Canada?

Traditionally, a college (in Canada) grants diplomas instead of a degrees. Its programs usually range from 1-3 years. Colleges are considered very applied, while a university is far more academic.

That's changed a bit now, but I won't get in that here.

I pledged in the second semester of my Freshman year. My Big Big is a legacy and when she transferred here she pledged in the first semester of her Junior year. One of the girls from the last pledge class is also a junior who transferred in.

I have many friends in CALS!

For non-NC people: College of Agriculture and Life Science... pronounced like COWS. I'm such a farm girl.

I guess I'm different on this issue. Although W&L is technically a University, I usually refer to it as a college, although it technically has 3 divisions. I usually go by size I guess. I'm technically wrong I suppose.

I was so programmed to be a Greek, that I honestly thought that anyone who wasn't in a fraternity or sorority had tried to pledge but wasn't accepted! Yes, I was that naive!

I pledged the first term of my freshman year. I was 17!

Thanks for the clarification.

I did it at the end of my second year ( I guess you could call it my sophmore year), but I was a Junior credit wise. So in total I am getting 2 full years and 1 semester of sorority. (Even though I have tons of credits, I will still be graduating in my 4th year, its all complicated and technical!) I was actually contemplating staying active while getting my Masters Degree the year after I graduate to get in some time that I missed!


edited for my horrific grammar!

I joined my house fall of 2002--my junior year. I went through so late since I transferred from a community college back at home to MSU.
