Say someone who takes college courses as a senior in high school at "College Number I" yet attends "College Number II". My understanding is that if she doesn't transfer those credits, they will not count for her or against her.
Why wouldn't this - in theory - be the same if she is "starting over" as an incoming freshman?
If she applies as an incoming freshman at “College Number II”, is she required to note that she attended “College Number I”? If not, then wouldn’t the College Panhellenic simply use her high school GPA since in theory, the high school GPA is what “College Number II” used to grant her admission as an incoming freshman.

I guess it could have gone down like that, but that's not what the OP describes. She says she is a transfer student with a .8, rather than someone who started over at a new school.
Even if a student did try to start over and not transfer credits, depending on the school, if she enrolled at a school that used hometown recs, someone would probably reveal the misspent year. And I think most groups would take a hard look at someone who failed to focus at the level that she earned a .8.
