Transfering Schools
 

Does anyone really know any policies on transfering schools and joining a chapter at that school? I know you need to consult that chapter first before you do, but I was just curious as to how it went for some of the other brothers out there. I am from U of Louisville, but I want to travel and get out and about and I want to go to another school that has a SigEp there, I am initiated, so I was curious as to how that would be joining in. I am from a BMP chapter too, so if i transfered to a traditional would I be treated as a new "member" or would I be just like one of the other brothers since I am initiated? Just curious, anyone post if you know any stories or know from personal experience how that was for you.

I don't know how you would go about it, maybe try contacting the chapter president, but most likely you wouldn't be treated as a pledge, at least that's how we do it (we've had two transfers since I've been here). I guess if you haven't seen all of the ritual (you're not an "Epsilon" or whatever you call it) you would probably go through the entire "Traditional" initiation (bmp ritual is just the Traditional ritual split into 3 parts, right?), but [at our chapter] we wouldn't make you go through the whole pledging process.
