Why not? If I was applying to any other organization, school related or not, you have the right to shop around. In fact, I'd encourage a new member to closely evaulate all their options, so they know what to expect and where they fit.
The worst thing you can do is committ yourself to one GLO and either not get in, or discover it's different than what you thought, and of course with the short pledge periods we now have, you may be initiated before you really realize the pros and cons. I spent over a year as a pledge and was very happy with my GLO (I was part of the initial pledge colonization and am a founding father) and see lots of guys sign up and sixty days later decide they chose poorly and end up deaffiliating.
That said, one of our first EC members of the colony was a Fiji pledge. And he's now got an award named after him.
