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.

While I can understand where people would be upset, I know off the top of my head two instances where friends transferred to schools without their GLO. In both cases, they spoke with their brothers, explained the situation and in both cases, resigned... with no ill feelings.
To the OP, if your current fraternity is only a local, I do not see that there would be much of an issue with joining a National GLO. However, I would advise you to consider what type of school you are transferring to. Is it a large school? Is the Greek scene very important there? Would that school's IFC be receptive to the establishment of another GLO with you at the helm? It's probably worth checking with IFC to see what kind of hoops you have to jump through to establish another fraternity on campus.

This has been discussed on numerous other threads, but in the end it is one of those questions for which there is no correct answer.
It depends on BOTH fraternities.
While I personally would not have considered it, I can understand why someone might -- sort of.

Well said, for the first two comments. I agree with the third one, too. I think maybe, he just wants brothers to hang around with.
Good luck with whatever you decide works for you.

Because maybe his new school isn't open for expansion or there aren't enough people interested in starting a new fraternity there.

But that's the nice thing about IFC....it doesn't HAVE to be open for expansion like NPC. You just go start your group.

Not necessarily. My school's bylaws for greek life say that there's a maximum for the number of fraternities or sororities that can be on campus at any given moment. Unless someone dies out, we can't get a new organization.

Is that a normal thing at most campuses?? It seems like we had Fraternities coming and going faster then you could keep up with.

It's more common than you think.
Not to mention you have to get a group of guys together, and even if you do and the school OKs it, the fraternity might not want to come there.
