No. Once you have been initiated into one NPC organization, you are never allowed to join any other.

Check your affiliation policies of your organization. You may be considered an alumna member as soon as you transfer, but don't affiliate. Or, I could be totally wrong. It varies from org to org.

Dang! Doesn't the average member value their organizations anymore?! I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about the shortened new member period. It's all handed to them on a silver platter. Then, when it's convenient, they so easily toss it away.

NO! You can't join another NPC. And don't even bother trying to go through rush again hoping not to get caught. It won't work.

I honestly don't think it's so much the length as the attitude and the content. If your pledge period is more like a Dale Carnegie course or a Pretty Pretty Princess party and concentrates way too much on how the sorority can improve and benefit you (while impressing very little of the other side of that coin) it's not going to instill any loyalty. Not to mention that if you take out the component that makes most girls choose a group in the first place (i.e. liking the women in that individual chapter and wanting to become closer with them) in favor of a completely standardized and regimented program that gives you no time to get to know the majority of the group on a one to one basis, it's not going to magically make you any more loyal to the national group as a result.

Good points.
