Just to add a little more. The key phrase is "initiated member." Once you are an initiated member, you are a member for life and all the privileges of full membership that go with it.
Witihin NPC, there is an Agreement signed by the Presidents of all the members that says, in part, an initiated member of one conference fraternity cannot pledge or become a member of another conference fraternity. The Agreement has been in place since the 1920's IIRC.
If the girl is a new member (pledge), she is not yet a full member because she has not gone through the initiation ritual. (I know that there is full a NPC PC way of saying that but you get the gist.) Should her pledgeship be broken by either the fraternity or herself, she is eligible to repledge. The question then becomes would another group want her.
