Just for the record, it is possible to switch fraternities according to NIC bylaws. Just make sure you follow the guidelines established by the NIC.
I was successfully able to switch from Lambda Chi Alpha to SigEp.

QFP.
Why are you asking about getting a bid from a fraternity then?

It all comes to how each chapter runs things. The right to manage memberships is left with each chapter.

Nooo, I think he's quite right - maybe your policies say it's OK to accept someone from another fraternity, but you have the right to say that's a failing of character you will not accept in your chapter.

It really depends on what type of organization the first one was. Like there is a whole process to follow if you want to go from NIC to NIC. And even if you do, there are fraternities that require you to have never been initiated elsewhere. And finally even if all else is good ot go, it's up to the chapter to decide if they want somebody who has already forsaken one oath.

I'd say he's half-right. It doesn't all depend on how a chapter runs things. It can depend on national policies and a chapter's policies/preferences.
