I understand where you're coming from (especially since this dude had a short fuse), but the problem is a lot of people DON'T ask. They just assume if the person's wearing paraphernalia, they're a member - and that can be disastrous to your chapter's reputation and ability to attract members.
This is just a tangent, but I wonder what would have happened if this guy would have started a fight or damaged property while wearing letters and would have said he was still a member? Do you think the fraternity would have been held liable at all? I mean, we have to put up with this ridiculous "if it looks like a duck, it's a duck" garbage as far as events and housing are concerned - why should this be any different?
