Dropping

FRATERNITY.

There are no organizational (i.e. IFC) rules covering it, if you're not initiated. What happens will be governed by your current GLO (for de-pledging) and the rules, policies, bylaws, and traditions of the other groups you try to rush. Each campus and each chapter is likely to be different.

Think it through. You've joined a group of men with nationwide membership; organization can be poor at one place (or, frankly, perceived poor - you're not privvy to everything yet) and strong nationwide, and it can be the opportunity for you to hone your organizational leadership skills. Or not. Your choice, of course, just think it through carefully first.

This. And to emphasize: Remember that regardless of what the written rules allow, it could still be an unwritten rule in some chapters, or even an unwritten campus-culture rule, that they just won't consider anyone who has previously pledged a different fraternity and dropped.
