I'm just wondering when and if an active duty enlisted guy or an active duty officer would have time to fulfill their military duties and take the full load of classes to be eligible to pledge a fraternity. (If we are talking IFC.)

We had several members who were in Reserves or National Guard, but it rarely interfered with the chapter. We tried to plan our formals around their military weekends so they wouldn't miss out. I knew several ROTC guys who were in houses. But, I honestly don't see how an active duty enlisted or officer would have the time.

I'd think that would apply to all of the councils, honestly.

I didn't pay attention to the "or sorority" bit until after I posted. The only reason I didn't say a blanket statement for all the councils was the belief that some NPHC groups allow alumni initiations and might have some active duty military join that way.

I hadn't considered that. Good catch.
