It seems like people are more apt to want to drop houses when they only joined for a dumb reason, like to be in the "party house" or the "hot house". That's not what it's about in the least and I don't know if that was your reasoning, but maybe you should think about that.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere (I want to say it was something NIC website related) that once you fully deactivate from one fraternity and let the Grand Chapter know, you are free to join another fraternity.

But honestly, who would give a bid to someone who couldn't even commit to the fraternity he FOUNDED. Not I.

I couldn't imagine going through all of the work it takes to successfully found a fraternity (or any type of GLO) and then just throwing it to the wayside. Then I'd have to deal with the fact that my former XYZ brothers all hate me after I tried to get a bid from ABC.

If you're going to deactivate, then do it and say goodbye to Greek Life.
