Are you sure that you can affiliate with the chapter at "big SEC state school"? I'm not totally sure of Phi Mu's policy regarding affiliation (have never had to deal with it concerning the SEC) but if recruitment is as competitive as I hear and you or the chapter don't think that it will be a good fit, I'm not sure that you will be able to affiliate (you may have to go alumna). The chapter I advise had a member affiliate with us (small D2 school) from a much larger Big 12 school last fall and I think that I remember reading in the HQ bylaws at the time about a probatationary period whereby you attend your new school and after the first semester, the chapter has the option of offering affiliation to you. Again, I do not have experience with the SEC so I would check with your current chapter adviser or your area representative for more concrete and detailed information.
Also, if you think that the new chapter won't be a good fit, taking alumna status might be a good way to stay involved with Phi Mu but in an alumnae chapter. Please remember that sisterhood doesn't end at the collegiate level.
