Social Affiliates

KTsnake,
Thanks for the comment. Actually, I'm just sort of curious about the "social affiliate " thing and whether or not it still exists. We have formal procedures for Honorary Membership but I never ran across "SAs" when I was an undergraduate. We always had a couple of guys who fit in well and hung around with us but we didn't use the term SA or have any formal program of limited membership or anything like that. They were just sort of regular guests at our functions. They were usually transfer students who didn't want to rush as juniors or seniors or fifth year seniors but were still good guys who were welcome at the house and at parties etc. A couple of them were really skint for funds and didn't want to accept any "scholarship" assistance (we had a couple of funds that alumni members maintained to help out good candidates who were really not able to afford membership). Anyway, I was curious about this "sort of official status" that my Dad spoke about from back in the early 1960s and what the guys in law school said that they had heard of as well. Does your house have anything like this, or have you heard anything in general about it? Thanks again.
