Full-member actives pledging another fraternity

[alum]

LaneSig's scenario happened at my school as well. ZBT got kicked off campus in the fall when the newest members were still pledges. The former pledges became local and affiliated with another national within a year.

However at this school, XYZ is recolonizing after being banished for 4 years so there are no former brothers in the current student body. ABC was banished at the end of the 06-07 year for alleged hazing activity however the pledges did initiate prior to the expulsion.

I just thought it was odd that a colonizing group would want members from a group that was wild enough to be expelled.

If it's the pledges, they may have had very little to do with what happened. Or the chapter's expulsion could have been a result of the straw that broke the camel's back - ABC may have just committed one offense too many, and been expelled as a result of activity that began happening when the ABC pledges were in high school. They should hardly be penalized or looked at as "wild" for that.

It's interesting you bring this up, because a fraternity at my alma mater just closed and a new colony is coming on to campus this fall. I really can't see this scenario happening though as there's a national officer of the chapter that just closed working on campus.
