To be eligible to register and participate in recruitment, you must first be fully admitted to Florida State University as a "First Time in College," "Lower Division Transfer," or "Upper Division Transfer" and registered for at least 12 hours of fall classes. Students who have not yet attended Orientation and registered for classes but who have been fully admitted are able to register. Transient students (those enrolled at other institutions but taking part-time courses at FSU) are eligible for Recruitment.

This conflicts with what we know of NPC rules... I guess they run things a little differently at FSU.

Each national organization also defines however what membership means, some allow part time students, and some do not.

To the bolded, is Tallahassee Community College part of Florida State University? Is it possible that one can enroll at FSU but take their classes at TCC?

The reason I ask is that up until 1997, eight or so community colleges in Kentucky were linked to/part of the University of Kentucky. Those who attended one of these community colleges were considered enrolled at UK as either a freshman or sophomore. After your second year (or completion of your “sophomore year”) you either earned a two-year degree (if you were in a two-year program similar to a two-year Junior College program), you transferred to the UK (campus in Lexington), or you transferred to another college.

While in the UK Community College system, the student received an official UK Student ID etc. and were allowed to attend student events on the UK campus (in Lexington) – like any other official UK student. In other words, they could put their Student ID in for student tickets to football and basketball games, concert events, lectures, films, arts etc. – just like the students attending UK in Lexington.

For what it is worth, I never heard of any CC student rushing or joining a sorority or fraternity while attending the community college. But at that time, most of the community colleges were hours away from Lexington. One was located in Lexington but again, I’m not aware of any of the LCC students having rushed or joining a UK GLO while attending LCC. That doesn’t mean it wasn't possible, or that it didn’t happen, just that I don’t know that it did.
