That's actually a very good question that I have no idea the answer to. Though of course it doesn't matter for the OP, but that is something I want to find out now lol.

ETA: Though thinking on it now, I wouldn't see somebody being force to forsake their oaths because of something out of their control. So yes I can see that working.

If I remember right, though (please someone correct me if I'm not remembering right), when the Association of Education Sororities organizations (Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau, Pi Kappa Sigma, Delta Sigma Epsilon and Theta Sigma Upsilon) entered the NPC, anyone with dual membership in an NPC org and an AES org had to choose one and relinquish the other.

I won't bs, just because Omega Psi Phi isn't NIC doesn't mean he will get a bid. They might have a policy that you could not have prior have been a member of a social fraternity. Quite a few do. And even if there wasn't such an official policy, the chapter might not choose to let him go through intake because of his prior affiliation. I would tell your friend to make the best of the fraternity he is in now.

I advise you or your "friend" to contact the organizations' headquarters and ask. And what might be true for one may not be true for the others. As far as I know regarding most (if not all of the NPHC organizations), members are not permitted to be in their NPHC org and another social/general fraternity or sorority, no matter the council or no council. To find out if this is true for the particular NPHC org that you are interested in, contact the organization's headquarters and ask. It is possible that the local chapter allowed someone already in a social/general organization to join and the national organization does not know and would not have approved. Also, when it comes to NPHC organizations, the rules apply to both undergrad and grad members. Active Grad/alumnae members are not part of an alumni association; they are full active members in the organization just like the undergrads.

You are correct...though, I think it is silly since they already know the ritual of both groups.

It wasn't so much about ritual as it was, "you groups (AES) are coming into our house (NPC) and if you want to do this you have to sacrifice a little bit."
