My bff’s ex-husband did this, but that was back when Ben Franklin was flying his kite. I don’t know if insurance and RM factors would permit this these days. Kevin, do you know?
Instead of saying you should be able to switch...how about a petition saying that a 4-6 week pledge program does not work for every chapter (especially larger ones) and is not a sufficient amount of time to decide whether one should make a lifetime commitment? You’re focusing on the result instead of (what is often) the cause.
And sometimes even if you do all this...people change. Chapters change. That’s part of life. Some of my sisters who said they would never speak to each other again have reconnected after years and everything is fine. You’re not going to be 19 forever. And there’s not a law saying the only way you can have forever friends is in a sorority.
