If your new school doesn't have a chapter of X your kind of stuck (of course you could always work on starting one).
Another reason to wait, is it'd be better to be pledged & inducted into the chapter that you'll be spending most of your time with. You'll be learning about the tradition, history, etc of a chapter your not going to be part of. Plus some fraternities may have requirements that you need to be a brother for y semesters after your inducted or you cant pledge.

gruber,
sorry to disagree with you on this.
There is a big difference in Association(Pledgeing) and being Initiated in to a Greek Organization.
You can leave anytime during association and still be recruited by another NIC Organization. But upon Initiation, while there have been a very few, normally you are a member of that Organization period.
