Yes, it's dangerous and could backfire, but it's not as uncommon as you might think.
Rushee comes through and is offered a bid. He wants to join and shares his secret with a friend in the chapter. Friend takes him to the rush chairman who has rushed the guy.
"You were initiated into another national fraternity?"
"Yes, I was initiated into XYZ when I was a freshman then I transfered back here to be closer to home."
"Where were you initiated?"
"Up at Wankle State (1,000 miles away)."
"Is there anybody here who knows you were initiated?"
"No."
"Can you keep our mouth shut?"
"Yes."
"OK, here's the deal. I'm going to pledge you but this conversation never took place. If you're found out, the chapter will kick you out and I will be the first to say I never knew. Can you live with that?"
"Yes. Thank you."
