ok, since I just transferred to a new school (as a senior, ack!) and am trying to affiliate, I brushed up on adpi/panhellenic rules about affiliation, and transfer members DO NOT count against total during the semester they affiliate, meaning a transfer would only help a chapter as far as total goes, and wouldn't "take the spot" of a potential new member.

going through this process I can kind of understand why chapters are required to vote on transfer members, because even though there are only 250 miles between my initiation chapter and this one, there are A LOT of differences. I'm more nervous now than when I went through rush, because I've already been a member for three years, and I keep thinking "oh gods, what if they don't like me?"



On a non-personal note, I think there are plenty of reasons chapters would not accept transfers, that have nothing to do with "maintaining reputation" or anything of the sort. I mean, there have to be large differences in dues and activities between some schools, and what if the potential-affiliate just can't meet those standards? And speaking of standards, what about if she's a standards issure or something of the sort?
