Transferring Question
 

I've recently decided to change my major and possibly transfer. I know that I am going to get my PhD. in psychology, and I am thinking that I will just transfer and finish my undergrad at the same place. How open are chapters to sisters from other chapters getting involved if they transfer to schools? I would love to continue my collegiate experience with Zeta's, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes....basically how would YOU feel if a girl came from another chapter in another state and wanted to be active in YOUR collegiate chapter?

It happens frequently but varies by campus. There are LOTS of threads on this issue here, and then ask ZTA headquarters what the process is.

My chapter had a girl affiliate from UT Austin and she was welcomed immediately as one of us. But I'm not certain the reverse would have been true, at least to the extent of allowing the affiliation in the first place.

it will depend on the chapter.just as a transferring member has the right to seek affiliation or not, in zta, the chapter has the right to either extend an invitation to affiliate or not.

to be eligible to affiliate, you have to be a member in good standing of your previous chapter. you will need to notify i.o. that you would like to transfer and there is some paperwork that your chapter will have to fill out. there is information on transferring in the general manual.

when you get to your new campus, you need to get in touch with the zta chapter there, and arrange a meeting.

if you are transferring for the fall semester, and that campus has fall formal recruitment, you should wait until after recruitment to meet with the chapter. they will be way too busy to give you their full attention prior to that and you may fall by the wayside.
