I think the rules state that a chapter of an NIC organization can only join another NIC if they are not a chapter of the first for at least 5 years. Don't quote me on that though because stupid NIC doesn't make it's bylaws publicly available any more.

No member fraternity shall accept a petition for membership, grant colony or other affiliated status, or grant a charter to any group substantially representing an existing or previously resigned or disassociated colony or active chapter of another member fraternity, until the fraternity with which such group was previously connected has officially given written notice to the Conference that all rights have been waived by them, or until five years have elapsed from the date of resignation or disassociation. Potentially moved to the constitution.

Trust me. Thee are nationals and then there are nationals. The men aren't like the sororities in terms of blind adherence to the rules. I know of colonies that have switched horses before they were installed. It is rare, but it does happen.
