They would be sanctioning the fraternity as a whole for letting it happen. AT least that's what I think would happen.

I don't know how NIC would find out (unless an I/HQ told them, which they probably wouldn't).
Either way, I still hope this person gets found out and dropped from both organizations

Agreed 100 percent.

We had a member who was a member of another fraternity before he rushed us, and we revoked his membership when we found out 2 years later. If you don't like where you are at, then you should not have pledged that fraternity anyway. Be a man and stick with the bond you made. If you are unhappy with the way things are in your organization, then step up and try to change things.

How are you going to say that I'm wrong and not offer your opinion or a valid source...
Anyways. I believe it would be helpful to cite regulations from national headquarters. SigEp National requires a formal letter from the previous organization. They leave the bidding up to their chapter.
SigEp's BMP even offers brothers the option to resign within a certain time period and get a refund.

So you are admitting you were wrong?

No. I am merely stating that my opinion was based on my observation at my school.
The BMP is showing to be more successful than any fraternity's pledge process. It educates brothers, not pledges, associate members, or whatever you want to call them.

Yet you stated it as fact, not opinion. And as Vito noted, you yourself contradicted your own opinion that "it all comes to how each chapter run things" by noting that your own fraternity has national requirements that must be satisfied before the chapter can even consider whether or not to accept as a member someone who already joined another fraternity. So it doesn't "all" come down to how the chapter runs things.
It may seem like people are picking nits with what you said, but when someone comes to GC with a question like this, accuracy is important.

Again, just to be clear: your opinion, not objective fact.

"Successful" in what manner? Sorry but that's a really wide open for interpretation thing to say.

Success is difficult to measure, I admit. I am going to define "success" as creating a positive, lifelong bond between brothers. The success of BMP is that is creates strong lifelong bonds without a pledge process. I hope that's a little bit narrower.
@ Mysticat
I agree with everything you've said. However, the original poster didn't state which fraternity he came from or which one he wanted to switch into. Thus, I am unable to locate a specific list of membership requirements. As a result I am forced to give very general answers that are pretty much opinion/observation based.

Chalk up another reason to make fun of BMP.
