I can understand the problem with "frat" for nonNPHC fraternities. It holds a certain negative connotation and image. An image of the "frat party" and "frat boys" and stuff that has been asociated with certain types of groups.
Regarding forming bonds, it's not even about forming bonds at the new school to me. I think it's a total waste of that chapter's time and effort for you to pursue membership knowing that you may transfer. In the NPHC, a lot of chapters will not accept applicants who are graduating or frown upon new initiates who transfer if they knew they were going to transfer. Like, why form bonds when you aren't even going to contribute to the chapter? Someone else would've loved to have been chosen in your place. I don't know how nonNPHC chapters handle this.
I know new members who found out after they crossed that they had to transfer for some reason. This is different than going into it knowing you are basically doing a driveby.
