Dropping Lambda Chi as a Associate Member

[kippfor]

I am an associate member of the fraternity. The fraternity is not what I envisioned it would be and I cannot see myself becoming a member. I want to drop and rerush a different house, but I am not sure if that is allowed. Another associate member mentioned that we were not allowed to rerush different fraternities if we dropped before we were initiated. He said we signed something before we became associates that stated we could not affiliate with with any other fraternity.

I have not been initiated yet and being an associate member is the equivalent of a pledge in other fraternities. Basically what I want to know is will I be allowed to rerush during the spring and become a member of another house even though I was an associate member.
