That's cool! I'm pretty sure I read (although I'm not sure where) that Pappy Boyington's was a similar situation. As I recall, he was a Lambda Chi pledge when he left school (over finances?) and then was initiated years later, after fighting World War II, spending several years in Japanese captivity.

Anybody know any more about it?

I found a few websites about Boyington:
google(boyington lambda chi)

From all indications, he was a full member as an undergrad...
also heavily involved in athletics.

Ottor, awesome memory dude! According to the History book, p.60, Boyington spent 2 years as a POW and was initiated after a delay of some 15 years (due to financial circumstances and the war) when he "returned to Alpha-Psi Zeta at the University of Washington to complete his membership rites in the Fraternity".
