Local then National?

[Buttonz]

Intresting question: Let's say I am a member of ABC which is a local. After I leave, I do AI and become a member of XYZ, a NPC. However, then ABC goes national *ethier by affliating with a national thats not XYZ or they themselves go national* What happens then?

If they were both NPC sororities you would only be able to be a member of the sorority that you went through AI with.

[Beryana]

The same is true (you would only be able to be a member of one NPC) if you AI with a NPC group AFTER the local affliates with a different NPC group after you leave. As an alumna of the local you get to choose whether to affiliate with the new colony or not.

You will always be an alumna of ABC whether you affiliate with QRS or not.

Hope that did cause TOO much confusion!

I think I see what you're asking...

You're an alum of a local called ABC. You AI into an NPC sorority called XYZ. After you complete the AI process, ABC becomes a colony of another NPC sorority, DEF. DEF issues an invitation to all ABC alums to become alum initiates of DEF. In this case, you have to turn the invitation down because you've been initiated into XYZ and you can't be initiated into two NPC orgs.

Or, you're an alum of a local called ABC. You AI into an NPC sorority, XYZ. After you complete the AI process, ABC suddenly does a whole lot of expansion and is admitted as the 27th (28th, 29th...) NPC sorority. In this case, you have to choose whether you want to be considered a member of XYZ or ABC.

Or (as happened with Beryana) you're an alum of a local called ABC. ABC becomes a colony of DEF, and DEF issues an invitation to all ABC alums to become alum initiates of DEF. You can turn that invitation down, then later pursue AI into the NPC org of your choice.

Jeeze, very simple!

Once you are Initiated into a NPC, you are a member of that NPC. Whether your ex Local affiliated with a NPC Org. you cannot switch at you your calling.

You are a Memeber of only one NPC!
