I know a lot of people are saying "once you are initiated you will always be a sister," but ladies, keep in mind the POV of someone who would get initiated, transfer, and then be on the outside looking in for 3 years.

I agree with what you are saying, which is what makes this decision difficult for this young lady.
A) On one hand, if she gets initiated into Kappa, when she gets to School #2, she could be on the outside of the Greek system looking in. I agree, this would "suck" somewhat.
B) On the other hand, if she leaves Kappa and is not initiated, she might not get a sorority at School #2 either. So she could end up on the outside looking in as well
(and
not have the benefits of Greek Life as an alumna of Kappa Kappa Gamma either, which would suck
even more than scenario A).
C) She depledges Kappa, swtiches schools, rushes again, gets into a sorority that she likes. The End. She enjoys a blissful 3 years in her new sorority. It could happen.
It depends on whether you are willing to take that gamble or not, and it is hard to gauge this situation, not knowing which university that School #2 is, and how competitive their Rush is.
Also, at School #2, some people might be all uptight, and not like it if they knew that you were, at one time, a pledge of Kappa Kappa Gamma...it might seem to them like you can cast aside your membership in an sorority at a moment's notice.
That is not the case, but I am just trying to think of all of the worst possible case scenarios. It would be irresponsible of us to assume a Pollyana attitude and assume that everything would work out peachy, when it might not....know what I mean?
Good luck to you...you have a tough decision to make ahead of you. Please tell us what you end up doing!
