Disaffiliating membership and joining a different fratnerity after transferring.
I know this question has been asked before, but the responses all either seem to be “no you absolutely can’t join another fraternity after being initiated” and “it’s possible in some cases but very rare.”
I was initiated at a fraternity at my current school. The semester after my pledge semester they brought back a certain hazing practices I don’t agree with. The worse part is that no one else cared. I don’t want to report it and get them busted, but at the same time, I just want to break all ties. I’m will also probably transfer pretty soon.The policies for disaffiliating / deactivating membership are vague and I’m worried it won’t be accepted.
If I had any allegiance to my current brothers, I would have just taken alumni status, but I really just want to forget everything about it. I’m also worried because I was diagnosed with mild depression a few months ago. It’s not terrible now, but I am genuinely worried it will get worse as I’ve had family members who have committed suicide(Robin William's suicide just gave me the motivation to post this, so I don’t want to risk cutting myself off as a non-greek. The school I’m considering transferring to has a social life almost entirely limited to the Greek scene. They don’t have my current fraternity, and I know some have policies against previously initiated members, but I don’t know much that affects my chances.
So in summary:
Is the process of disaffiliating / deactivating membership typically difficult, and is the fact that you don’t connect with your brothers an accepted excuse?
Will many other fraternities be open to let me pledge a different fraternity, or will my chances be severely reduced?
