Tom Earp is right. You have to be a full time student at the University/College the chapter is at.
Any sort of other situations would have to be approved by the general/inter/national fraternity.
**hijack**
Here's one question I have. I don't know about you guys and your pledge programs but ours is very geared towards freshman who haven't spent been in college. I look at it and think that anyone who is really established at college wouldn't appreciate the experience and rules...particularly after having been on their own for more than a couple of years. I mean we have required study hours, limitations on when pledges can drink alcohol if they choose, cleaning duties, song tests and lore tests, required campus involvement, etc. I also wonder how well the junior or senior is going to be able to relate to the others in his pledge class, I mean there are parts of our ritual that practically say that the men in your pledge class must be your closest friends.
However all this being said, we always get questions like this on GC. I just wonder how many of these guys we get questions about really would like the whole experience of being a pledge, and if they end up thinking that the time input was worth it when they have plenty of other things going on, that a freshman/sophomore would not.
Sorry for the hijack, but its just something I've noticed as I've gotten to become old balls in the house.
