Yeah girls I know from ABC say that when it all went down, she said she knew that it was against rules, but she missed the sorority experience so badly that she didn't care and just kept her XYZ affiliation secret and figured they'd never find out.

If she doesn't give enough of a crap to stay loyal to the sorority she pledged, it's doubtful she would respond to any fines.

The only thing I could think of is if sorority #2 found out and brought her up on fraud charges, and that's REALLY pushing it.

I think it would be harder for someone to get away with now - the world is a much smaller place due to the Internet. (Facebook, MySpace, GreekChat, etc.)

One of my pledge sisters transferred schools shortly after initiation. She said that she was thinking about rushing again at her new school. I don't know whether or not she did - we lost touch shortly after that. (She transferred out of state.) If I hadn't been a new initiate, I probably would have done something about it, but I didn't realize what my options were.

Wow, I feel sorry for her little. This type of thing would be almost impossible to pull off in the day of Facebook, etc. I can't even imagine doing that back in the day (stone age) when I was initiated. It really is a small word out there.

The only way I could "possibly" see this happening is if the girl is newly initiated, not at the school long and doesn't transfer right away. I say this because it was basically me. Let me explain.

I initiated in the spring of 98. I don't recall it being made clear to me the NPC RULES. Now ADPi stuff I knew. Anyways. I left the school once the semester was over (couldn't afford to stay). I then went to community college for about two years before I could transfer and during that time did NOTHING with ADPi. Not knowing the NPC rules I contemplated going through rush. Obviously, I didn't, but it wasn't until years later that I learned and understood the rules.

I'm not saying it's right and with the explosion of the internet, myspace, etc... it's hard for girls not to know, but I could see the ignorant doing this. Unless your told, you don't know any better.

> ...she decided to transfer to Kent because the journalism program was better here.

A journalism major? After that stunt? Who is going to hire her? Maybe the Weekly World News? But they just folded.

I'm not familiar with the sorority space, but in the fraternity (NIC) space, getting a release from a national is not difficult, under certain circumstances. These have to be "real reasons", not "I just don't like the chapter here".

But, as pointed out on GC a lot, getting a bid after a release is a different story.

She had the audacity to actually try? I hope she wasn't surprised by the result when they said no.

There was a woman when I was in undergrad who I thought was in ABC sorority. Then an older sister pointed out to me that this girl was actually an XYZ that wasn't out our school. She had transferred and since her chapter wasn't there, she just affiliated herself with ABC.

So it was weird b/c ABC would let her wear shirts (never saw her in sewn shirts) and she would also wear her old XYZ shirts. Needless to say many new sisters were confused.

But this was a few years ago and our Panhellenic was run by a residence hall director and our greek life office was non-existent. I doubt it would be allowed now.

Is their a clause in the NPC rules that extends to locals? What if you were part of local at one University transfered schools went through rush got a bid from a national sorority, is this allowed? Or vice versa you were part of a national at one school and went through rush and a new member period for a local at a different school.

I have heard of "social affiliation" and I think it is allowed. It just means that the person attends social events (and pays fees to attend) with one Org even though they are initiated in another (which is not on the campus). The person DOES NOT attend ritual, new member selection, rush, etc. for the affilated org.

As for locals, NPC does allow a member of a local to join an NPC org. However, the local may have rules against it.

Yes

If the local group allowed it, then yes. The NPC just says you cannot join another NPC sorority.

I think she was surprised a little. She thought she was the best thing since sliced bread and thought she could do anything she wanted to. After she was rejected by her inititating GLO she started hanging out with these girls of another GLO all the time. If you didn't know any better, you would have thought she was a member there.

I think this used to be a lot more prevalent, however, the insurance regulations are so much stricter nowadays, I doubt it happens nearly as often. For the girls anyway, I don't know about the guys.

All of us are so pleased with the choices that our daughters made especially me. My daughter is thrilled with her sorority and her school and will be there for all four years. As we shared our daughter's rush stories with each other--someone brought up the question about dual memberships. Ergo--my curiosity. Nothing more Nothing more. I appreciate you asking me politely.

Thanks for the explanation!
