I have no real idea if i ever am going to be moving back to my original hometown to be with my frat again and so I am a little confused right now. Should i de-brother and join a new fraternity?
I do feel like an ass for just "ditching" my brothers like this, but I have tried creating my own chapter but i just don't have the time for it. I have no idea what to do or if i can even pledge a new fraternity? I know some fraternities don't accept men who have de-brothered from another fraternity.. so Im just lost at all ends here any help would be appreciated.
The new fraternity i was thinking about joining is the Latino fraternity Lambda Sigma Upsilon, any1 know if they accept people who have de-brothered from other fraternities? Also what does the de-brother process involve? Do i have to go back home to de-brother at my school?

While it may seem an unimportant question, but you said you Pledged. Were you Initiated? Now, if you were a member of a NIC GLO there are very few who will deactivate you but there are some who will release you. If you were just a "Pledge" only, then you can move onward.
So lets take it you were Initiated and a full member!
You are now at your new School and want to start a Chapter.
1. Contact your HQ.
2. Are there other Chapters close by?
3. How big is your GLO in the area of the country?
4. What is the Greek capacity compared to school population?
5. Are they expandable? (School)
6. Is your GLO wanting to expand!
Now, if all questions are answered then go ahead and sit out and go
Promote and see what happens! One LXA did it at Wyoming and there is a Chapter there now!
