I've known a few LXA grad students, and they participated like active members in meetings and social activities, and I think it adds to the overall chapter's quality and diversity of viewpoints on education, etc....
I'm all for it - does anyone else know specifics about other fraternities and grad students?

Well, Alpha Phi Omega, the National Service Fraternity, has no issue with grad students rushing. We make a point of telling chapters that ANYONE who is a student should be allowed to join their chapters: full time, part time, non-traditional, etc. We do give chapters the right to limit grad student participation (ie can't hold office, for instance), but that's it.
I pledged APO as a non-traditional grad student since there wasn't a chapter at the school I was an undergrad at.
