Pledged Fraterntiy then transfered next semester

Swerving into other lane. Anyone feel free to cut me off if necessary.

From what I understand, if you joined an NIC fraternity, you are able to join another one. But there are multiple steps to go through (assuming that you were initiated). First and foremost, you would have to disaffiliate from your current Greek organization. Only then would another GLO even consider you for membership.

However, there are some NIC fraternities that don't allow a person to join after having already initiated into another group.

And to be honest, even if another (inter)national organization did allow a previously initiated potential member to join, it doesn't mean that individual chapters will be accepting of that. For some chapters of some fraternities on some campuses, they wouldn't consider someone who had even accepted a bid from another fraternity, let alone someone who had already been initiated.

If you joined an NIC fraternity at your first school, and were looking to pledge a local now, it would be up to the local as to what they'd want you to do.

There are a ton of different ways this could go. Not knowing your exact situation makes it difficult to answer the question precisely.

Basically, if you're truly considering this, do your research! Because if you want to be involved in a fraternity, you don't want to disaffiliate only to find out that you can't be a part of Greek life at all.
