In the 19th century, it was a common practice with many fraternities to steal chapters of other fraternities (Phi Psi
never did this.) By the time the interfraternity movement gained full steam, this practice was ended.
The basic rule in place with all NIC (and similar) fraternities is that the only way a member of a similar fraternity may be initiated into another, is if that member resigned
and that resignation was accepted.
As far as picking up locals, or former chapters of defunct nationals, no resignation is needed.
If a local was recently a chapter of a national, any local members who were members of the former national must have properly resigned in order to be initiated into the second. This scenario is rare, but it does happen.
