[QUOTE=emb021;1404675]FYI- its not just a 'NPC thing'. The 'rule' as pretty much always been that one can only join one social/general fraternity/sorority. This does not restrict you from joining service, professional, or honorary GLOs, btw.
That is not always the case. Our fratrernity's rule is that one would have to resign from the first inter/national fraternity before joining Alpha Delt. We also belong to NIC, which has what is called the "comity clause". This requires that we cannot initiate anyone who is a member of another NIC fraternity without that fraternity releasing that member in writing. We could initiate a member of any other fraternity if they had resigned, whether that fraterrnity "accepted" the resignation or not. Before NIC, it was common at a number of schools for a man to join several fraternities as they were class societies. That's why both AD and DKE claim Teddy(or maybe FDR) Roosevelt as a member.
