Okay, are you aware of how the process actually works when you transfer? AFAIK, every NPC organization lets both the transfer and the new chapter decide if there is a good fit before she affiliates with the new chapter. If you choose not to affiliate, you instead take alumnae status.
This is why I ask about other chapters. If you don't initiate, and you get to the new campus, and you find none of the chapters there are a good fit, or if none of the chapters there find you to be a good fit, you will not be greek at all. If you do initiate, you only have one chapter to consider, but if it doesn't work out, you are an alumna.

No, but the quota number compared to the total number IS a measure of competitiveness. So, if quota is 25, but total is 150, that implies that either a lot of women pledge through informal or interest in recruitment has suddenly fallen or total is just set too damn high. In any of those cases, it would be "less competitive" than a school with quota of 25 and total of 80.
