I knew nothing about the other GLO's and suicided the first one that had an open door to me since rush week is one week in your first week of school.
I ended up depledging by my own choice and doing spring rush. I ended up joining SAE after finding out more about them and liking what they were all about (kind of the party animals i admit). Well 6 weeks in i was dropped because chapter bylaws state that someone in another GLO can not be an official brother, no one knew about these rules and nationals had been on the chapter's back for hazing incidents first semester.
I'm still welcome at the house and got my refund, but point being is i found the fraternity i liked SECOND semester; and was still being bit in the rear by the mistake i made by making a hasty decision FIRST semster.

I'm not sure if I'm reading this right .... you pledged one group, depleged (and did not initiate?), pledged SAE, and then were dropped because you had pledged another org previously?
If you didn't initiate into that first GLO, why would SAE drop you?
Or is this some NIC thing that I'm just not aware of? I've heard of guys actually
initating into GLO-A, disaffiliating, and initiating into another NIC GLO. I know the rules are different for each org, but if you never actually
initiated, I'm not sure why SAE dropped you?
