Sigma Chi abandoned the practice of honorary initiations along with most other fraternities in the early 1880s. That's why it was so controversial in 1893. That, and the fact that the decision to make him a member was taken by a single chapter, without the required consent of the full fraternity legislature.
But I think honorary initiations are still permitted in Sigma Chi and other NIC fraternities on special occasions like the installation of a new chapter.
