It depends on the school.
I went to an all-local school (but not the one the OP is talking about), and our rules very closely mirrored the NPC rules. For us, if you were offered a bid and pledged, you could not accept another bid for a "rush calendar" year.
We had this situation with a very dear sister who had initiated into another sorority and decided to leave that sisterhood. We were having spring recruitment at the time and we investigated the possibility of bidding her then, but the regulations prohibited it. She was bid, pledged and initiated the following winter quarter with the rest of our pledge class. She was and is a very awesome sister.*
*Like I said, sometime we follow the NPC very closely, sometimes no. While she had to wait a year, there was no restriction on her joining our sorority because she had previously joined another. I can see why this rule exists, but there was, and as far as I am aware, is no campus panhellenic rule prohibiting it and our sorority bylaws did not prohibit it. It is not a frequent occurrence.
