KillarneyRose--
Actually, this happens quite a bit in the deep South, which is a major reason that chapter totals were instituted. A girl would pledge AB at a medium-sized school with the intention to transfer right after initiation, usually in the sophomore year...some sororities ended up unfairly huge due to transfers.
Most national GLOs now require a chapter vote for this very reason and others. I started a thread on affiliation about a year ago because I had mixed feelings on it. On one hand, seems like once an AB, always an AB; on the other hand, I saw some pretty awful girls try that routine to get into desirable groups at Auburn. Like a girl with a really slutty rep would think it was her ticket to this sweet, highly Christian group and frankly, you couldn't blame them for turning her down. (And it was always obvious in cases like this that the girl just wanted to wear the letters, not help give the group a great reputation.)
AXO Alum told a story on my thread in which a girl with some major problems affiliated with a group at her own campus and really hurt them with her weird and crazy behavior. So I can see why the rule is there for taking a vote; I just sometimes wish it didn't have to be that way, because some people have legitimate reasons to transfer.
