Depends. If you pretty much publicly announced your desire to join your first interest, then you may find it difficult to move to your next interest. Most organizations would think you are rather fickle if you've been popping about how you are so xyz material and then you show up at an informational for abc. Xyz will probably snicker at you as well as at the organization that would appear desperate enough to take you in.
If you were quietly interested in xyz but now you're interested in abc, then you simply begin to attend the events of abc. Unless it's membership related, you don't necessary have to stop attending xyz's community service or other events carte blanche. Start attending abc's service and other public events until you feel they understand that you would be interested in being a member.
Most campuses are okay with someone being quietly interested in one group initially only to become certain that another is for them after careful investigation. There are some campuses, however, where even showing a reasonable public interest is tad amount to swearing your allegiance to that group, and no other group would touch you with a 10-foot pole. That’s why members are always encouraged aspirants to be discreet: to protect their chances in getting into the organization of their dreams.
All you can do is try.
