If someone is going through ***membership intake*** for an organization and decides not to complete this process, this person is not a member if this person is not duly inducted.

While that is generally unnacceptable in NPHC organizations, especially given the timelines for membership intake, there are some instances where that person is accepted and inducted into another organization.

Sometimes the second organization of choice does not know the person had pursued another organization first. When that organization finds out, the person may be viewed differently or not.

Actually, this use to happen. Two people very close to me started pledging one org, decided it was not for them and eventually went another org.

BUT this was back in the day when a major purpose of pledging was to determine if their was a fit on BOTH sides.

It was not unusual for a depledging to occur--either initiated by the pledge or by the chapter. Shoot, I lost 10 LSs within the first 2 weeks.
