Leaving a fraternity to join another

[rhoyaltempest]

There appears to be a lot of assumptions being made here and no one from the NPHC fraternities has chimed in to set the record straight. I advise you or your "friend" to contact the organizations' headquarters and ask. And what might be true for one may not be true for the others. As far as I know regarding most (if not all of the NPHC organizations), members are not permitted to be in their NPHC org and another social/general fraternity or sorority, no matter the council or no council. To find out if this is true for the particular NPHC org that you are interested in, contact the organization's headquarters and ask. It is possible that the local chapter allowed someone already in a social/general organization to join and the national organization does not know and would not have approved. Also, when it comes to NPHC organizations, the rules apply to both undergrad and grad members. Active Grad/alumnae members are not part of an alumni association; they are full active members in the organization just like the undergrads.

"The Force" is strong with rhoyaltempest.

There is a rare occasion when dual membered morons slip through the cracks. That would not happen if people paid attention and/or stopped trying to stupidly bend the rules.
