I know at least one person that did just that - came to my school to become an XYZ then promptly transferred out. And this was 30+ years ago.

What irishpipes said, plus a move like that completely defeats the purpose of attending a school for an education first and a social life second. It's one thing to join and then decide that you'd like to go to a different school for whatever reason, but deliberately transferring schools solely for the sake of attempting to join a prestigious chapter shows that you have those priorities backwards. Plus it can backfire pretty quickly if a chapter that isn't required to let transfers affiliate with them decides they don't want to take a transfer and leaves the transfer chapter-less.
