From what I understood, the letter didn't have to say "knight_shadow is no longer XYZ and is free to join ABD" -- it just had to say "knight_shadow is no longer XYZ"

So at this point, I guess I will call each fraternity president and see if they would allow it or not. I will also visit by the IFC office again sometime soon. And @33girl, thats how unorganized my previous fraternity was, we didn't have any elections for which positions people wanted. It was pretty much whoever rose there hand first got the job. However, at the time I was taking a lot of units and didn't have much time to put my complete effort into that position so I opted on doing it later.

I've also talked to multicultural fraternities and they were welcome to let me join and even gave me a bid this semester. However, I didn't take it because I didn't want to rush blindly like before and make a mistake. I want to explore my options then decide. If it helps, I suppose I can name my previous fraternity.

I doubt that those bids would still hold after you turned them down to join another organization (unless they're hurting for members).

Ok, I see where you're coming from. For us at least, we will not provide a letter at all.

So if I were to ask to disaffiliate, what proof would exist? Does HQ just remove me from the rolls and keep moving? Or do I get something in the mail saying "Hey k_s, your membership ended as of 1/2/12 and you lose all rights as a brother as of that date."?

(This is me being curious. If this is not something that you can/want to share, that's completely fine)

You know, I'm not sure about that one. My inclination is to say you would receive written communication, but I really don't know. If you did receive written notice, I guess you could send that to the new group.

As often happens this much ado about a situation that is not very common.
