non-university student in unversity frat?
i know a boy who is enrolled at a local community college but a new member to an LSU fraternity. he tried to explain to me that his fraternity's charter was regional and not only affiliated with the university and that a lot of fraternities can have members who don't attend their school. i guess this explanation makes sense, but i still don't think it's logical. is not the school responsible for the member in some ways even if he is not a student? do they realize they are liable for such? also, what about academics? the reason this new member isn't attending LSU is because he couldn't get in...is a semester or two of partying with the boys really going to improve his GPA enough to allow him admission to the univeristy, if that is even his goal? i guess i just think this is a pretty bad idea and was wondering if this is a common practice and if any of you have thoughts on the matter.
