I know. I wasn't disagreeing, just adding to. I thought it worth going ahead a telling him the rest, because it might make him reconsider asking the question at all.

The reality he needs to understand is that many, both in his current fraternity and possibly at the future campus, will rightly view resigning from his current fraternity so that he can join a different one at his new school as bailing on the vows of lifetime commitment that he made. That's one reason some fraternities and some chapters won't consider bidding former members of other fraternities, even if NIC rules would allow it—they'd see him as someone who breaks his promises when the promises become inconvenient, not someone who'd be a committed brother. SWIM (and yes, we do know that likely means Someone Who Is Me) might as well know that before he starts asking questions.
