The NIC rule is that no member fraternity will initiate a man already initiated into another NIC fraternity unless the man has resigned his membership in the first fraternity, and the first fraternity confirms that in writing to the second fraternity. But SWIM needs to know that—at least according to some members who have weighed in on similar questions here on GC—there are some fraternities with a national policy that they will not consider a candidate for membership if he has ever been initiated into another NIC fraternity, even if he has paperwork showing termination of membership in the other fraternity. And even in fraternities that do not have that as a national policy, there may be chapters that have such a policy, whether formal or informal.
So SWIM should be aware that even if he resigns membership in his fraternity and has the paperwork to show it, it is still possible that one or more, or even all, fraternity chapters at the new school would not consider offering him a bid.
