I don't think this is true, though I could be wrong.

NIC bylaws say that members can initiate somebody if they are officially separated from their prior fraternity, with a signed letter from the national office. however there are fraternities that will not allow somebody who has been intiated somewhere else to pledge. Also most nationals don't allow an offical seperation because you are told that it is an lifetime commitment.

It's been often said by members of fraternities here that even though someone's got that paper saying he's not a member of the original fraternity anymore doesn't mean the new fraternity chapter will want to consider him.
