He had been hanging around with all the brothers for a while and everyone liked him a lot. In the spring semester, he was given a bid, and accepted. He got in, took a little, had a job and everything a regular brother would do. It wasn't untile the semester after he was initiated that he became a student at PSB. He has since dropped out and is now an alumni.
Some of our current members want to retroactively black ball this member, only because he was bid as a non student. He's a great guy that we all like, but some people feel that he shouldn't be a brother. Has anyone else experienced this in their chapter? What did you do?
Thanks all!

If anyone should be blackballed, it's the brain trusts who gave him a bid without checking on his student status. They didn't discharge their duties to the fraternity properly - they admitted a candidate who technically was unfit for membership.
But it's over and done and he's a good brother now. I assume he paid his dues that semester, so let it go and move forward.
