Y'know, I haven't heard a thing about sororities doing away with voting in affiliates. If anything, I've heard that more are doing it.
One problem you see in the South is that girls in a larger chapter of a selective sorority will actually encourage their buddies to rush a less selective chapter and transfer--this is done when the girls don't think their buddies will make it on the larger campus. AGDAlum once told me that a chapter at the University of Texas was once known as the "Friendly Four Hundred" due to this.
I hate to see a girl unable to affiliate! I just don't know what the solution is when people are purposely going around the system--which, by the way, hurts the smaller chapters as they lose members who never intended to stay to their bigger chapters.
