Extension to schools with no dormitories.

As best as I can tell, this is something relatively routinely done by NPHC fraternities and sororities and not done by NIC fraternities and NPC sororities. (I'm not saying specifically that we should or shouldn't based on that, I'm just making sure I've got the concept). If this is true, I'd want to understand *much* better how the NPHC groups make it work.

Oddly enough, I think Phi chapter at Syracuse is sort of like this with both brothers from Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF, but as best as I can tell the institutions expect student groups to admit from both.
