I believe many nationals will not allow the pledging of a member who has been initiated by another national because of the knowledge of the initiation ritual. My own group is one of those; however, we will pledge a former pledge of another GLO after a certain period of time has elapsed.

I've often wondered if it's a kind of reciprocal agreement between fraternities to limit ritual knowledge to those who have been initiated by only one fraternity and never another. Does anyone know if this is true?

that doesn't make sense, if they have only been initiated by only one group, then they only know one ritual, and if they hand that over, it's shitty, and i myself would be inclined to beat the hell out of someone in my chapter if they did it.

on a note, at uf, even if he had just pledged one group, odds are another wouldn't take him. at least not top tier, but lets not get into that.

I would be very surprised if he was top tier.

I put money on TEP

I thought TEP got kicked off campus at UF in the fall... Of course that could explain why he wanted to change houses.

Didn't know TEP was gone.

I'm outdated, I suppose.
