I've viewed the bylaws and constitution. My question is, has any chapter initiated a once member to another fraternity? What is the process like i.e. paperwork, etc.
I have never heard of a man having been initiated into another fraternity, deactivating, and then pledging and initiating into Sigma Chi.

From the Constitution.

Statute No. 3 Membership

B. Eligibility

3.07 ...each person initiated into membership in the Fraternity shall, at the time of his initiation,

b. Not be or have been a member of any other fraternity of like character, except as specifically approved by the Executive Committee;
I would guess that if the man were to receive a written letter from the previous fraternity's headquarters confirming that his membership was terminated, and he gets approval by the Executive Committee, then I guess it is possible. And that would be the process.
