What happened to being a memember for life!

What happened to being a member for life? He resigned. Your chapter never kicked out a brother? Oh wait, you posted that it has. I actually like the fact that NIC has this policy, and I wish it's something that NPC would allow. If he resigned his membership in Fraternity One, there is nothing to prevent Fraternity Two from taking him.
As for transferring to a school without your chapter: don't say it's easy until you've tried it. It's not a lot of fun to see other girls in their Bid Day shirts, squealing about their new pledges, talking about their mixer with SigEp, or dressing up on Founders' Day, and then being the only student out of 11,000 wearing your badge on your Founders' Day. It's not fun going from a place where you had 25 (or 250) sisters to cry to about a final to a place where you call them long distance only to realize they're in a chapter meeting. While I can't condone double initiates because there is an NPC bylaw against it, I certainly am in support of allowing it in certain situations. There are two sororities at Marquette I think I could be a very happy sister of, but I can't join them, and instead my only connection with my sorority is an alum chapter where the youngest member is 5 years older than me. Yes, she's my sister, but there's a big difference between changing your major and changing diapers. While I'm sure it would cause some problems, it would also prevent a lot of heartbreak.
