Most organizations do not allow dual membership, or joining a different fraternity after you've resigned from a former one. You would be breaking the rule/policy, and there are lots of ways a new fraternity might find out. Social media posts, someone from your current chapter alerts the chapter at your new school and tells them you've transferred, someone knows someone who knew you were in a fraternity at your current school, every fraternity has membership databases and the new fraternity checks with your current fraternity after hearing a rumor or being told you were a member of another group, etc., etc. So, you might get away with it, or it could come back to bite you if at any point it's determined you were already initiated into another group. This could happen down the road when someone from your current group sees social media pictures of you in your new letters. Then, your new fraternity might terminate your membership because you were dishonest and joined knowing that you were already initiated into another fraternity.

I can sympathize with your situation, because it sounds like you've got some legitimate reasons to have buyer's remorse, but the rules are designed to prevent exactly what you're trying to do.
