Honourary membership can be extended/granted to those that either embody the ideals of Lambda Chi Alpha - or have made significant contributions to the general Fraternity or a specific chapter (volunteer work, financial support, long-term association/relationship, etc.).

Maybe one of our scholars can correct me, but I always thought that no matter how you become a member, either the traditional or non-traditional way, that you MUST go through ritual/initiation?

You are correct, every member - honourary or not - must go through the ritual... however the honourary doesn't have to particpate but can witness the ritual.
