The facts as I understand them: If she is an initiated sister of a NPC organization, she will not be able to deactivate and pursue another NPC group.
If she is a new member (non-initiate) she may choose to depledge a NPC and pursue membership in another NPC without penalty. I don't have a Green Book handy, but I believe a signed bid card is binding for a calendar year. Therefore, if she pledged last fall, she'd be eligible to pledge another group NEXT fall.
Members of local sororities can pledge and initiate into NPC groups without penalty from the NPC group. For local groups, it would depend on their existing governing documents and policies on how such a decision would be handled.
If she is initiated and wanting to do this, boy, would my feelings be hurt. I'd be the type to tell her, point blank, that it was against Sorority Law to drop out of our sorority to join XYZ (remember, I'm thinking NPC-land here!) If she wasn't, sure, my feelings would be hurt and I'd miss her--heck, I'd probably tell her that AND try to convince her not to do it--but in the end I'd want her to be happy and would still be her friend.
