Scholarships are not what they were and stock markets where college funds were housed have plumeted. For some, who are not interested in large loans, it is the right decision and should not be looked down upon.

Some insight on this (from a chapter perspective):

Chapters at some bigger schools tend to prefer freshmen because they'll be part of the chapter for 4 years. This means 4 years of participation (and more opportunities to take on officer positions) and dues. Theoretically, a transfer is going to be at the school for less than 4 years.
