One Person - Two Sororities

So it was weird b/c ABC would let her wear shirts (never saw her in sewn shirts) and she would also wear her old XYZ shirts. Needless to say many new sisters were confused.

But this was a few years ago and our Panhellenic was run by a residence hall director and our greek life office was non-existent. I doubt it would be allowed now.

I have heard of "social affiliation" and I think it is allowed. It just means that the person attends social events (and pays fees to attend) with one Org even though they are initiated in another (which is not on the campus). The person DOES NOT attend ritual, new member selection, rush, etc. for the affilated org.

As for locals, NPC does allow a member of a local to join an NPC org. However, the local may have rules against it.

I think this used to be a lot more prevalent, however, the insurance regulations are so much stricter nowadays, I doubt it happens nearly as often. For the girls anyway, I don't know about the guys.
