On the other hand, post-Covid, fraternities are being pressed by the Nationals headquarters to increase membership - and you may find that the campus you will attend pays little attention to membership rules as long as your debit card clears your dues payments.

This is how it worked at my fraternity when I was the treasurer a few years ago. We had guys who were part-time students and guys that dropped out and went to community college on our active roster. Nationals never verified anyones membership aside from checking chapter average GPA and standing with the school. Definitely was a weird look for us, but we were desperate for numbers and some of those guys put in more work than any of the guys enrolled in full time classes.
