3. If I did recieve a bid from another group, would my friends that I have made in the first group that I pledged think of this as betrayal?

#1 - You need to ask your pledge master. None of us (that we know of) are on your campus or members of that chapter. Your pledgemaster knows the answer.

#2 - Depends on the campus and the reason you depledged/didn't initiate. If it is known that you didn't get initiated into ABC because of grades, it's going to look like you are fraternity shopping; i.e., you just want letters, you don't care which ones.

#3 - Depends on your friends.
