I by no means claim to be an expert on NIC/NPC rules, however, I know that NIC allows this. We've discussed it before, and while ktsnake certainly has a valid point that the person did break an oath, we don't know the circumstances. What if he was initiated into Delta Upsilon Mu, then discovered that the DUMs had secretly been practicing a racial discrimination policy, like discussed in the "White-only membership clauses" thread. DUMs best friend happens to be Martian-American, so he resigns from the Alpha Sigma chapter of DUM as well as the national fraternity. DUM national headquarters strikes him from their rolls and sends him a letter saying he's no longer recognized as a brother. If DUM wants to go pledge ABX now, nothing is stopping him in NIC bylaws. Maybe he finds the brotherhood he THOUGHT DUM had in ABX, which doesn't discriminate as they have several Martian-American brothers.
Well that's a somewhat extreme example (although still possible) there are a lot of other possibilities, ranging from the fact that he transferred and no longer feels close with his brothers that he only had a semester with, to the fact that he doesn't agree with the hazing going on the organization, to he dislikes the alumni attitudes.
sugar and spice further expresses a lot of these points in her post above, so I'm going to stop here for now. UT SAE21, I hope you find an awesome brother in this new guy, and that he finds the home he's been looking for with you and your SAE brothers.
