I know of someone who did this. He was an initiated member in a NIC fraternity and then transferred from his school to another. The NIC fraternity did not have a chapter at the new school and he wanted to have greek affiliation at the new school. Our greek advisor called and had him removed from his original NIC fraternity's books and he was then able to pledge and be initiated into the new NIC fraternity.
A recent discussion in the yahoo-group Sororityalumnae has been about this, but with sororities. I am not a huge fan of leaving one chapter and joining another. My chapter had a member that left one NPC group and tried to join another NPC group at a university nearby. I do not agree with it, but it is up to the chapter.
If these are both NIC fraternities, I would contact his previous chapter and find out information. There has to be a reason he left...and if he already gave you one....just call to find out what kind of member he was in general. Hope this helps!
