OK. Here's a story I hope is entertaining. Please remember: it happened a long time ago, there was a lot of drinking, and, well, there was a lot of drinking.
We were members of the university's athletic spirit honorary for men. It was made up almost entirely of fraternity guys, and a couple dozen of us took a long road trip to another university for a football weekend. Turns out we were the opponent for their Homecoming, so their entire campus was alive with parties Friday night. All the fraternities were building floats for the Saturday parade before the big game.
Rather than split up our group and go to our own various houses, we decided we wanted to stay together. We agreed that we would all pretend to be members of whatever fraternity we visited, led by the members of our club who actually WERE brothers of that fraternity.
When we walked into the SAE house, the two or three SAE's in our group introduced us all around as members of their chapter at FSU. When we went to the KA house, and the Lambda Chi house and the Sigma Chi house, we were just twenty-four guys from that chapter at Florida State, visiting and happy to be guests at a homecoming party hosted by our "Brothers" at the host campus.
Before we began our waltz across the party landscape, we considered what to do if any of us were members of a fraternity with NO CHAPTER on the campus. All agreed that any orphan would have to be a 'pledge' and would not have Brother status. We got a campus map and discovered that Phi Delta Theta had no
chapter. So our spirit club president, who was also president of Phi Delt at FSU, had to assume the role of pledge wherever we went.
This was no problem until we got to my fraternity. We all walked up on the lawn, and I and a couple of other Pikes introduced the entire group as Pikes from FSU, including our 'pledge'. The local Brothers were very gracious and invited us inside to sample the fruits of the evening's celebration EXCEPT FOR THE PLEDGE. The pledges were all assigned to remain in the front yard and work on the float until it was finished. So naturally, they felt it was only proper for our pledge to join the others outside. From time to time we'd sneak a beer outside to him, and of course we'd have to point out that he wasn't hammering the nails properly and remind him that as a low pledge he needed to try very, very hard to make a good impression on us so we wouldn't blackball him. He actually threw a hammer at one of us, but other than that one thing he was a really good sport about it all.
It was a wonderful trip and we all talk about to this day. And, we heard that our host greeks were tremendously impressed that the campus was virtually "flooded" with Greeks from FSU. "There must have been twenty, thirty men from every fraternity at every party!", they said. And one (Phi Delt) pledge.

That's the best story ever haha. I would never do that to my own organization, I would feel too guilty about lying to my sisters, but I'm not saying I wouldn't go along with it and pretend to be from another house if the other Greeks I was with were willing to!
