I don't even think you could retake the degrees to be honest unless you completely lied about any previous affiliations. If all three GLs are in amity, and I think they are, you would have to 'catch-up' on your NPD and just pick up where you left off. I would say be patient and get it right or it'll bite you in the tail eventually anyways. I'm surprised your current secretary or GL Secretary couldn't get in touch with NY and KS to help get this figured out. I've been through the ringer with the demit/re-affiliation process and it takes a long time sometimes. It took my lodge well over a year just to get NY and OK GLs to jive up and I was in good standing. If starting over is somehow an option and they don't mind the fact that you are behind in two separate GLs, then you could go that route and probably be good to go quicker. My concern is when you fill out the affiliation form or petition for that matter, you would be disqualified for being in 'bad standing' in two different GLs. Then if you withheld that information, as I mentioned before, it could bite you in the end.
