We have no problems with them seeking membership? I did mention that we don't allow it, so in that sense, you are correct-it is not a problem for us.

Looking back at your first post in the thread you posted: "I also don't agree with people leaving their organization especially if the sorority is national, because the sorority is bigger than just the chapter someone is initiated at. They probably could have found other ways to be involved if they were not getting along with members of their local chapter."

I asked this earlier in the thread, but I guess it got buried -- why does it matter if the organization the person was previously a member of was national (like a different national conference like NPC) or local? You said "especially if the sorority is national"... I can understand that it might be different because there are obviously more chapters than the few that a local or regional might have, but what is the real difference? Locals have everything nationals do - except some rules and the obvious lack of a national HQ and multiple chapters.
My comment was made exactly because (in your words), "there are obviously more chapters than the few that a local or regional might have." Are you attempting to turn my words into a "national vs. local vs. regional" debate? Please don't--I'm "not the one" for that, as when I joined my sorority, there were only 9 chapters, pretty much confined to one area. Now we are national.

Do they have policies on members disaffiliated barring them from joining another type of organization? NPC? locals? I'm just curious so I thought I would ask. A KDChi member posted (a few posts ago) that they do not accept anyone who has previously been a member of another GLO which I thought was interesting because some of the women who left the same local I left joined KDChi.
Some of the individual LGLOs in NALFO may or may not allow disaffiliated women/men to pursue membership. It is up to each organization.
