I agree. Maybe for sororities there might be more of a stigma. I can think of several guys in our chapter who were pledges of other fraternities...some times some one just doesn't fit in. I honestly don't think it's that big of a deal. Don't bad mouth anyone, just say that you don't feel it was the house for you. If you're a good fit for another house, you're a good fit for another house.

However I might add that if you were a problem in your former pledge class, this may come back to bite you in the ass. People in the greek community know people in other houses and they talk.
