Sorry, I should clarify. The Sigma Chis at my school had 2 honorary initiates (a local clergyman and a local businessman) when their chapter was installed. But I think they were exploiting a bit of a loophole. This was a local fraternity that was petitioning for a Sigma Chi charter, so these 2 men were initiated into the local fraternity as honorary members, and when Sigma Chi granted the charter and came to initiate all the members of the local fraternity, these 2 were initiated with all the rest.
Yes, most bylaws prohibit honorary memberships. But I think you'll find these loopholes exist, because I have heard similar stories from other groups as well.
