They typically participated in Greek Week and other activities just as if they were a fraternity or sorority chapter. Often, they had a rep on Panhell or IFC. It was a way for transfer students to participate in Greek life without having to "replace" the groups into which they had been initiated. I can remember yearbook pages for such organizations where there was a list of all the fraternities represented in the Wandering Greeks.

Might your school be open to something like this?
MysticCat-That's a great idea. Perhaps that is a better direction for us to go. I think there may have been something similar to that once. Back in the 1870's yearbooks there was a group that was of non-Greeks. This of course is an odd concept and I believe they did eventually affiliate with a national fraternity. In fact, this is the same way that OXO was created...originally as an anti-Greek group.
