Great story that I think demonstrates that Greek life can be very inclusive to those who seek it.

I'm a bit surprised the chapter had to change its bylaws to allow the dog. Though the article mentions him as a pet, guide and assistance dogs are actually not considered pets...they are considered an extension of the person using them in order to fulfill functions of their everyday life. Service animals are allowed to go anywhere their partner goes; to disallow them is discrimination against disability according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Therefore, legally the dog could have accompanied him into the house even if the bylaws weren't changed.
