Like 33Girl said, it is nearly impossible because you broke your pledge to shop around for something better. My campus is pretty non-competitive where upper classmen regularly receive bids but I cannot imagine a chapter extending a bid to someone who had pledged and dropped out of another Greek organization on the same campus. I would either try a little harder to become friends with all members (not just your pledge class) of the organization or drop out of Greek life on your campus altogether.

Every campus IS different, and mine is not competitive, but I do know two guys who came in my same year that dropped one fraternity and pledged another a year later (fall rush). It's a small campus, so everyone knew that's what they did, but their fraternity still wanted them. (And it's one of the two "top" on campus that has no trouble getting their numbers every year). I guess it depends on who you know and how you click.

Well to clarify, we had guys that did that too. But their dropping the 1st group was usually for a reason other than "I didn't bond."

These two just said they made a mistake...even worse. But then like I said, we aren't very competitive here...
