But that's different from what the OP described and from what 33girl reacted to. They're not talking about describing an individual after he or she graduates; they're talking about a designation for a pledge/new member class -- specifically, designating the class by the year its members will graduate (which assumes they are all the same year and will graduate at the same time). In other words, this fall's pledge/new member class would be referred to as the pledge/new member class of 2015. That presumes all members of the class are freshman and will graduate in four years.
We don't have a standard for that. In my experience, most of our chapters will either designate probationary member classes by the season and year of pledging (e.g., the Spring 2012 class) or by Greek letters (e.g., the Gamma PM class, meaning the third in the chapter's history).

… I passed right over the "pledge class" reference and took that to mean her personal designation is “Kappakeys 15” versus the "15" being associated with her pledge class.
In some cases, pledges and initiated members are described by (lumped by) their (anticipated) graduation year – even during their undergraduate years. So “14s” would simply be another way of saying “sophomores”. Which is what I thought she meant with respect to her pledge mom.
