If you find an NIC fraternity which is willing to take pledges who are non students, run. There is nothing legit going on there. Speaking for Sigma Nu (and it seems Pike is the same), if you are being initiated as an alumnus, we just initiate you. You do not pledge with us because by that point, the opinion of the chapter and in our case, our High Council is that you should simply be initiated. Upon initiation, you will be considered an alumnus as you will be a non-matriculate member. But it doesn't sound like OP is really looking at NIC organizations, and if he is, he shouldn't get his hopes up.
