There are 2 things you might be asking here. One refers to transferring to a different school from where you first joined a sorority and that is called "Affiliation" and happens frequently. There are certain criteria for it, and each sorority may be different, but it can definitely happen.
The other question seems to be if you can remain active as a graduate student, and the answer (at least for Kappa) is yes, if you want to. But many grad students simply do not have the time to devote to being an active, but it is allowed. I don't think it happens often, though. I have also seen grad students serve as advisers or join alumnae associations.
You are right when you say membership is for life. It just looks a bit different at each stage of the game (new member, active, alumna, adviser, etc.). And once you join (become initiated) you can NEVER join another NPC organization. Someone on here says it the best when she says "you can change your hair color and even your husband, but you can never change which sorority you're in" (or something like that).
I do wish you luck and hope that things work out for you in the future.
