Here is the section from the constitution:
}Section B. Classifications of membership
Membership shall be classified as follows:
§l. Undergraduate—Undergraduate members shall be those who are students at the college or
institution at which they have been admitted to an undergraduate chapter or colony of this
Fraternity and those who have transferred from one chapter to another in accordance with Section
C of this Article.
§2. Alumni—Alumni members shall be those who:
[a] either have been graduated from or who are no longer attending the college or institution
where they have been admitted to a membership in an undergraduate chapter or colony;
[b] are governing, administrative, or faculty personnel of a college or institution at which an
undergraduate chapter or colony of this Fraternity is maintained and who are not members of
any other national general college fraternity, and;
[c] are approved by both an undergraduate chapter or colony and the Alumni Corporation Board
of that chapter or colony, because of outstanding character and potential for service and
contributions to the chapter and the Fraternity.
§3. Honorary Members—Honorary members shall be those so designated by the Grand Council.
As you can see, you need BOTH the undergraduate and ACB approval. So, if you have no undergraduate chapter, you can't add members. This is a real problem for dormant groups who want to continue to be a part of the fraternity. Also, you can not attend one school and be initiated by a chapter at another school, so colonization is difficult without National approving a colony first, which means you need at least 15 men with a 2.8 GPA who have agreed to pledge. If you don't make 15, you can't move forward.
