Most members in competitive greek systems know the score and do not appreciate this kind of scheming to get into a strong chapter. It is gamesmanship. It is one thing to legitimately transfer, but to intentionally rush at a school with an easier path to membership and then transfer to Difficult U is not appreciated. I would add that it shows a lack of respect to the sisters at Easy U.
