So it's advisable to judge them to the same standard (maybe a tad more forgiving) than you would someone you were about to extend a bid to.

I suppose so, but still, if someone was an initiated SAE and came to my school wanting to affiliate with my chapter, the only requirements that I would have would be that the person left his previous chapter in good standing and that he was eligible to be counted in good standing (grade-wise, etc.) within the chapter along the same standards as are expected of actives. The whole point of fraternities is to bring together people of different races, creeds and colors and to allow them to develop friendships they might not have otherwise. I figure that unless someone has done something that would merit his expulsion from the fraternity (or other disciplinary action), I would be perfectly willing to accept any initiated SAE into my chapter because by definition that person is already my brother whether he's an affiliate or not. Beyond that, he may very well turn out to be a good friend and great asset to the chapter. I wouldn't be so quick to judge someone.
