The reason it's a problem is because 1-these memberships include secret sharing. If members were allowed to join groups willy-nilly, the secret nature of the whole thing would be lost. And 2-this is a lifetime commitment. Now it's true that most girls go into this not understanding that (me included) but that doesn't make it less true. It's a crying shame when you decide to transfer and your sorority isn't represented there. But that's the way the cookie crumbles. And wanting to join a sorority because you pledged, initiated and THEN decided you didn't like them is even less of a reason to be able to join another group. I believe every single NPC sorority allows for some sort of alumna status for collegiates put in this unfortunate scenario. The founders didn't plan for any scenario that was denying you access to the spring formal. And would they change the rules now, understanding that kids these days are much more mobile and less willing to make a commitment for even 4 years? I think not!
