Inane comments aside, Sigma Nu's process is very similar. I've never heard of someone unknown to a chapter to approach that chapter as a non-matriculate regarding Alumni Initiation. I imagine that if it were to happen, they would probably not receive any serious consideration.

I've participated directly in one AI (I petitioned our High Council on behalf of a now-brother whose initiation they approved -- our faculty advisor, and a dean) and I served in an advisory role in a second initiation of a man who had been more active and more helpful towards our chapter than most active brothers had been for a long long period of time. High Council approved his initiation as well.

Other than that though, I understand that the practice is extremely rare. If anyone is reading this and thinking about Alumni Initiation, unless you are already intimately involved with a Sigma Nu chapter, I personally don't think his chances are very good at all.

Finally, I'm not sure why this thread is in this forum as (I think) that the purpose of this forum is to discuss recruitment in active chapters. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
