The schools have more or less invented a new category of student here. Are they full-time enrolled undergraduates? Kinda. At least, there's an argument for treating them that way.
What Texas is doing is unique AFAIK. Montana State also allows students enrolled in its junior college to live in MSU housing, use student services, etc., but I don't think they've made a path to Greek life.

Actually the University of South Carolina has a program just like this called Gamecock Gateway. Students are accepted provisionally and they live in dorms on campus but, attend the local community college. After a year, if they have made the grade, they are eligible to be full-time South Carolina students. They even get South Carolina ID cards. I would really like to see them allow the students in that program to go through recruitment but, that is set by the school and it has never, to my knowledge, been brought to the attention of the campus Panhellenic. I think it helps lessen the stigma of being in one of these special programs.
