Maybe I'm just overly sensitive when it comes to this issue, but as I stated above, most secret, social, college Fraternities (IMHO) are not clubs that can/should be joined in multiples. When you go through ritual, at least in my experience, you take an oath to THAT Fraternity, its ideals, its history, its founders who laid the foundation, its past members, and its current Brothers.
I understand that sometimes it is necessary for someone to de-Brother/quit a Fraternity. To each his own. But I would do everything in my power to prevent somone from joining my chapter who had ever gone through another Fraternity's ritual. Not to mention the fact that, although it may not be stated in the NIC guidelines, I am positive that some GLO's will deny membership to anyone who has ever been affiliated with another organization.
My best advice to the guy would be to try to enjoy the rest of his college days and not try to join another GLO. However, if he follows the appropriate NIC guidelines and all parties involved are satisfied, then best of luck to him in his 2nd Fraternity...maybe he'll stick with it this time?
