Transferring schools while in a fraternity

I can tell you I am aware of no exception with any GLO which allows dual memberships. There are some professional greek letter orgs which do allow dual memberships, but as far as social fraternities, I'd say you're stuck with AEPi as you would be an AEPi alumnus.

But we had 2 brothers who left AEPi at my school and joined Sig Eps this year. They just got their membership renounced and they were able to pledge again. So if I do the same thing, wouldn't I be able to pledge another fraternity? If it's not a dual membership, there should be no problem right?

You didn't mention the membership renunciation part in your first post. Kevin was saying that no, you cannot be in two social fraternities at the same time, which is what it sounded like you wanted to do.

I can't speak for Sigma Phi Epsilon, but more likely than not what those men did violates their national policies. If you'd like to let us know their names and the chapter, I'm sure we could have someone look into that for you though.
