As of 8/29/2008 you will maintain the number of ribbons turned into the Society and the timers on all Society quests, so it will take you even longer to rank up if you rejoin a society. In addition, you lose all rank in the old society!
When you complete the join Society quest again, you receive the same amount of XP and a society armor writ (3 day timer on chest pulls).
