To the original OP, what will your status be with your local when you transfer? As far as Kappa is concerned, when a collegiate member in good standing transfers to a new school where there is no chapter, we become alumnae. I think this is fairly standard for NPC groups.

I get that you'll miss sorority life at your new school (I had to transfer after my third year because of family issues, and it stunk seeing all the groups wearing their letters and having fun), but didn't you make a promise to your organization?

Anyway, you are definitely free to go through recruitment, and the chapters at your new school will figure out if they want you and if you are eligible for membership.
I'm not sure what my status would be; I wouldn't be affiliated with the school anymore, which means I'd be leaving the local sorority as well. And I do understand that I made this commitment, but at that time, I was not aware that I would have to leave it behind. I'm still taking into consideration about re-rushing; I just wanted to know if there was an option for it because I've enjoyed being part of a sisterhood and the Greek community. And that's something I really value in my college experience. My situation is a bit tricky since I joined a local sorority with affiliations only around our neighborhood. But thanks for the info.
