Boy. How did I miss this? Effective September 9, 2006, Sigma Chi's policy on "Non-Student Initiation".

B. Eligibility

3.07 – Except as provided in Section 3.08 and 3.08.1, each person initiated into membership in the Fraternity shall, at the time of his initiation,

a. Be a bona fide male student in good academic standing, not enrolled for the sole purpose of establishing membership eligibility, at the institution specified in the charter of the initiating chapter; unless his Pledgeship was interrupted by military service, or other circumstances as deemed acceptable by the Executive Committee, upon request of the initiating and pledging undergraduate chapter;

b. Not be or have been a member of any other fraternity of like character, except as specifically approved by the Executive Committee;

c. Be judged to meet the Standards of Membership set forth by Founder Isaac M. Jordan, namely, that no man shall be admitted to membership who is not believed to be a man of good character, a student of fair ability, with ambitious purposes, a congenial disposition, possessed of good morals, and having a high sense of honor and a deep sense of personal responsibility;

d. Have satisfactorily completed the chapter’s program of Pledgeship, including the official Fraternity examination.

3.08 – The alumni of any group which is granted a Charter under the provisions of Section 4.03 may, if otherwise eligible, be initiated into membership in the Fraternity at the time of installation or subsequent thereto; provided that the Executive Committee shall have given prior written approval of each such initiate.

3.08.1 – A chapter may initiate any male who is not currently a student at the institution where the initiating chapter is located, but who is otherwise qualified for membership and who is deemed worthy of membership in Sigma Chi with the approval of the General Fraternity’s Executive Committee, and provided that he meets the qualifications set forth in Section 3.07(b) and 3.07(c), and further provided that he has not previously been found unsuitable for membership by an undergraduate chapter. The request for such initiation should be received by the Executive Committee at least 60 days prior to the proposed initiation unless the time period is waived by the Executive Committee.
