I know sororities can choose not to affiliate you, or they have to vote on it or whatever, but at my school I think it's a sure thing as long as you go through the process. At Texas, would ABC vote her in, but ostracize her/choose to not affiliate her/totally welcome her etc?
This is out of pure curiosity, by the way, and I'm sure there's no solid answer, but just your opinion. Procrastination at its finest hehehe

I am not a Texas belle, but I am from pretty deep in the heart of Dixie. I have seen this go both ways. I have known a woman who transferred because she changed her major, got to know the girls in the new chapter, and affiliated and is not quite happy. I have also seen women who went to a "feeder chapter", transfer, and get shot down.
My advice (just in general and is subject to the rules of the specific org.) is not to transfer just for a chapter. If you change for your major/need to move home/etc, great. Get to know the girls in the chapter. If they like/fit with you and you fit/like them then I doubt affiliation would be a problem. If you are just trying to transfer into a "top chapter", the women will most likely be able to sense that and then I wouldn't hold your breath or waste their time.
