Shocking or not, some girls do. But they ought to check to see if their original desired chapter WILL affiliate. Many don't...not because they're snooty, but because they just don't have enough spaces to fill. Some (and I can think of at least one at U of Ala.) don't because quite a few women were trying that "back door" way to get into a top group.
And there's the BIG chance that a girl will pledge at one school, transfer and then find out that the new chapter is not at all to her liking. I would always advise a transfer to wait a semester...visit the chapter, and see if she'd really be happy there. If she did affiliate, she might not be happy and then have to resign. But if she waits and checks out the situation and finds she wouldn't be happy, then she can stay an alum, or go back to her chapter of initiation.
