transfer student: new school doesn't have my frat, can I still join one?

I am transferring next year and the school I'm going to has plenty of fraternities - but not the one I'm currently a member of. Can I still join any of their other frats?

If You are a member of an NIC Fraternity, no, You are not allowed to join an other Fraternity of the same conference=NIC/IFC.

Even though there have been some, it is very few and far between.

Have You given thoughts of trying to start a Chapter there of Your GLO?

Little information gives Us little.

PM if You would like!

Where's the fraternal loyalty here? Why would you want to change?

Here's an idea --- how about chartering a new chapter of your org and becoming a part of history?

Resigning

If you really care that much, you need to resign or ask your local chapter to expel you from membership. This can then be forwarded onto your grand chapter, administrative office etc. for entry on the membership lists. Then you might be able to affiliate with a new chapter.
It is not as uncommen as you think.
At my chapter we had a member transfer to SMU where he joined PKA another member joined Sig Ep at North Texas we expelled the guy who joined Sig Ep we took no action against the guy who joined Pike. We also took in a one guy who had been in another GLO.
