Is this legal? Deactivated one NPC, now part of a new NPC.

Almost any other transfer, I would think would sign a waiver saying that the Panhellenic at your old school has permission to reveal if you were a member of a sorority on that campus because they would know that the answer would be a legitimate "no."

Good point!

I know of a sorority where they pledged a woman who transferred in from another school from another NPC sorority. It was policy to check every woman who was not a freshman, not just this woman. Right before her initiation, they ran her against some data base and found out that she had been a member of another NPC sorority.

It really sucked because this woman was a junior and had been elected pledge class president at her new sorority, lived in house, made friends with the other members and then got found out. No one really wanted to be her friend after that. Maybe a few. I heard of other stories on campuses where other sororities didn't check that much. My recommendation, is don't do it or do it at your own risk. There are ways of checking.
