If you were INITIATED into an NPC group, you cannot join another NPC group. If you were INITIATED into an NPC group, you might be able to join a LOCAL, but other non-NPC sororities might not take kindly to this. If you've already initiated elsewhere, you might be viewed as..ahem..."damaged goods". I realize that can be harsh to be told, but I don't believe in sunshine blowing...

Once you're initiated into an NPC sorority, you are ineligible to ever join any other NPC sorority. You can, however, join a local sorority, a service organization such as APO, or a non-collegiate sorority such as BSP.

Did I ever mention that I love you? :D

I just want to say that in some cases this may not be an option. Some locals have by-laws against this especially if they plan to affiliate with an NPC at later date.

This definitely is true. My local personally wouldn't take anyone who was in NPC, but generally, looking at it from an NPC point of view, it's generally an option.

I agree.

That's true, although I only know of one case of this, where there was that Chi Omega chapter that became a local and then they became Alpha Chi Omega. So, of course, the "initiated into XO" girls couldn't become AXO's.
