I find this incredibly clever, using something that I would normally consider a liability (the association with a weak house at XYZ university--I'm sure most of you have had some contact with this) and then transfering to a place where the GLO is highly regarded. Especially in the south where rush is so competitive.
I find it very cruel however that the chapter wouldn't take them in. I mean isn't that one of the things our organizations always brag about: Lifelong brother/sister hood? and don't most people always take pride in the fact that they can meet a person from a different chapter and have a bond that is deeper than most anything? It seems to me that having to be held to a vote is contradictory to what GLO's say they stand for.
Now granted, I don't know how well the transition would go for someone transfering--chapters are all different, and it's very possible that one wouldn't like the members at the new chapter, plus it would be difficult to come in as a junior or senior particularly and enjoy the same bond that they were accustomed too. But still once a ______ always a _______.
