You might have to bring it up, but I wouldn't make it the first thing that comes out of my mouth. It can be a positive or a negative depending on how you present it. When you say you're a transfer, a natural question would be to ask what you were involved with at your old school. If you say something like," I was involved with a local sorority for X years, I liked _____, and I am looking for _____ in an NPC sorority," that would be a good way to present yourself. If you trash your local sorority, or act paranoid about being cut because you were in a local at your first school, that makes you look bad, so don't do that during recruitment.

There was a 29 year old on GC who received a bid from her first choice chapter at a noncompetitive school. Depending on the competitiveness of a campus and a particular chapter, a 22 year old student with fewer than 3-4 years left may face more cuts. Some chapters are forced to cut more women per this really complicated system that helps to match the most potential members with a chapter.

Don't worry about things out of your control. Play up your good qualities. Good luck to you.
