Transferring to a school without my sorority
I have a problem, I am transferring to a new school currently and it does not have my sorority or any Panhellenic sororities at all. Since I am no longer going to be a sister, will I be considered an alum? Do I need to just let my chapter know about me transferring or do I need to tell my region's advisor or even nationals? I'm just not sure how to go about this and do not know what will happen to my membership. Thanks!

This is a question for your exec board and/or advisors.

All we can tell you is talk to your own sorority to find out what their specific policy is. We would just be quessing. BTW, an alumna IS still a sister.... just not an active, collegiate. |

Thanks, I would let my chapter know but I just wasn't sure who to contact to start the process of becoming an alumna. I am in Tri Sigma if anyone knows their specific guidelines. By "Do I need to let my chapter know" I meant is that the highest level that needs to be informed by me or is there a form I need to fill out and send to nationals.

Sister-to sister. Face-to-face. It's the reason you joined a sorority.

As others have said - talk to your chapter president or another exec board member. Your chapter's leaders will know what needs to be done to change your status from active to alumna. (I assume Tri Sigma has a ceremony to mark the transition to alumna - you may even be able to participate in the ceremony alongside your chapter's graduating seniors.)
You won't be an active sister any more, but you will be a sister for the rest of your life. |

If you will not be returning and are an alumna, you can check with a local alumnae chapter or even your chapter advisory board to go through the alumnae ceremony. You must be current financially with the chapter and left in good standing. Hope this helps! |

Tranferring without my sorority
Hi, I am a recent active of Phi Sigma Sigma, a NPC sorority. I am planning on transferring schools because this one just isn't for me... but I decided to get initiated because I wanted to be bonded with my sisters. The new school I am planning on going to has some other NPC sororities but would it be really hard if I tried to start a chapter at my new school? I know it takes a long time but I would love to found a new chapter! Also, if I am going to a community college in between can I be alumni and then re-active? or how does that work? Help me!!!

The chances of you being able to start a new chapter of PSS at your school are very slim. As for being able to reactivate once you're an alumna, that policy varies by organization. Some sororities allow for petitions to reactivate that may be approved under unusual circumstances. I would contact your headquarters and find out how your organization handles things. |
