WOW!

The "not taking transfer members" policy is really shocking to me.

Doesn't that undermine the sense that you belong to a national group?

I could understand a local NPC agreement that groups would need to restrict transfer members if it was messing up chapter total numbers, but for the chapter to do it itself really surprises me.

I would expect all chapters to get some say in who affiliates in case they knew someone was a particular problem for their chapter, but the blanket policy seems like the chapter projects to the rest of the national group that it thinks it's better than they are.

Is this policy common?

I know that some number of people might try to exploit transfer policies to avoid having to get a bid in a really competitive rush, but is it really such a large number that policies like this have to made to prevent it?

Please tell me more.
