Yes, Tulane is close to home.

My freshman year I attended University of Texas. That is where I first pledged Zeta,

I suppose what makes matters worse is that my best friend, who is also my rommie, was accepted and and i am excluded from all of the upcoming Zeta activities which she will be participating in.

Well, I'll be. Another transfer-because-of-tragedy on Greekchat. Of course the results of those mean sorority rules are so much more important than the tragedy that forced you to transfer.

Why would it matter if you aren't planning to affiliate?

Sorry to hear about your mom and I know that the situation with collegiate chapter is adding to the stress. If you do decide to transfer to Tulane, you can look into the local ZTA alumnnae chapter. They seem to be pretty active. Good luck.

Tulane is just as close to home.

mary1510 09-10-2010 11:05 AM

I attended UT my freshman year where i pledged Zeta.

I did not even know that once you have been rejected into a chapter that you could no longer affiliate with any chapter anywhere. What is the reasoning behind this? Is this only the case with Zeta Tau Alpha? just curious.

mary1510 09-10-2010 11:12 AM

UT Austin.

No one said that at all.

FYI - The ZTA chapter at Tulane closed in 1952.

Again, why would it matter if you're not planning on affiliating? Why don't you check with Zeta instead of embarrassing yourself on a public message board where there are girls who go to your school?

Of course you did.

I'm sorry but I just have to say that I find this all rather silly & stupid.

Transferring because of "rejection" from a sorority? WOW. They could have only been allowed to take 2 more girls (from the 6 transfers) because it would've had them at total.

Not to further the rejectment, but I think that at some schools transfers don't count into total (since they are already initiated sisters).

I know I've quoted the Green Book on this here somewhere before and can't find the thread but have found several other threads where others have stated it also.. Per NPC, transfer don't count into Total.

well just think about it this way: if you had gone through recruitment at that school, you probably would've gotten a bid from a different chapter.
