I guess I can chime in on this too.
Our fraternity allows for chapters to include "special initiates" into our rituals. These are individuals (men only) who have contributed something of importance or merit to our chapter. For example. a year ago our Ritual Chairman was responsible for the construction and organization of our numerous ritual materials. His father, being handy with power tools, spent countless hours and $$ helping him build and transport everything. As a form of thank you and respect, we offered to initiate his father into our fraternity. He was given all the pledge materials to study and accepted our offer. He has an official roll number in our roll book. He's now our Ritual Advisor. So, I guess that could be a means for some guys to be involved with our fraternity long after they've exited school. Just a thought...
