How have you incorporated Transfer and Grad Students into your Circle?

The question was posed to me the other day: What is the standing in our University's Circle of those students (graduate and undergraduate) who were initiated into ODK at another University?

To help answer the question, I ask each of you to tell us how they are incorporated into the Circle on your campus, and at the same time, provide the National standing about transfer and graduate students.

*************************************************************************************
Membership in ODK is for life, so any member who transfers or attends grad school on a campus with an existing Circle should be made welcome. The National By-Laws address this issue in Article I, Section 5 (page 22, 2004-2006 ODK Manual):

"A student member transferring in good standing to another institution in which a Circle is located may, during the period in which she is matriculated as a candidate for a degree, hold voting membership in that Circle at the discretion of the Circle."
