Yes, you can get it again and no, it's not hereditary. Meningitis is an acute inflammatory response of the meningies, or covering of the brain. It's serious and requires prompt attention from a Physician. Anyone can have a repeat case of meningitis should something once again cause inflammation of the brain.
