I'm just curious, is that correct, or are there other sororities/fraternities that will welcome a prospective member who was or perhaps still is an initiate of another group???

Cloud9, allow me to answer your question in 2 parts...
If you are initiated into 1 sorority of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), you CANNOT be initiated into another sorority of the National Panhellenic Conference. There are 26 in total.
These are the 26 groups in the NPC:
All 26 NPC groups:
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Epsilon Phi
Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Alpha Sigma Tau
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Phi Epsilon
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Mu
Phi Sigma Sigma
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Delta Tau
Sigma Kappa
Sigma Sigma Sigma
Theta Phi Alpha
Zeta Tau Alpha
However, the sorority that
localsororities was referring to is
Beta Sigma Phi, which is *NOT* a member of the National Panhellenic Conference.
Beta Sigma Phi is not a local group..they have chapters all over the world, but they are a non-collegiate sorority.
Therefore, it would indeed be permissible to be:
A Chi Omega and a Beta Sigma Phi
A Kappa Kappa Gamma and a Beta Sigma Phi
A Kappa Delta and a Beta Sigma Phi
A Delta Gamma and a Beta Sigma Phi...
I am sure that you catch my drift!
