Yes, the process is a mutual decision - but I've been told it's rare that a new chapter refuse to take someone. Overall, I'm not too concerned about that process. I think it would go well if that was something I truly wanted to do. I'm just not sure if I want to. A few of the girls have offered to go to the new campus with me and meet more people in the other chapter and they've assured me no one will be offended if I still decide depledging and rushing again is the best choice for me.
However, I don't know that I want anyone on my new campus to know I was pledging beforehand - especially if I end up rushing again. I'm starting to think I would like to start off with a clean slate. But I don't know how to tell the girls that without hurting anyone's feelings!
I didn't realize I had the option to take alumnae status rather than disaffiliate. That's definitely good to know. However, I'm still not sure that's what I'd want to do. I'd like to be an active member of the Greek life on my new campus - and I don't think that's going to change when I go there.
I think that I'd like to rush informally just because I'd like to get a feel for the type of women that are in the sororities, etc. before I make a decision. I also feel like it would be an opportunity to see if there IS a better fit on this specific campus for me. While I do feel loyalty to the chapter and sorority I'm pledging to now, I don't know that I want to make the sacrifice and end up going alum if I dislike the new chapter.
I'd like the opportunity to get to know the campus and all of the organizations on the campus before I make so important a decision, I guess.
