My sorority has a very flexible policy where it applies to this issue, but in defense of the chapters that seem a little hard nosed about affiliation, we are not well-represented in many of those highly competitive schools where some girls equate their social status for the entire rest of their lives with which sorority (not chapter) they join. They used to go to a school with a weaker chapter JUST so they could transfer to the school with the right potential husbands AND the sorority that will afford them the right countryclub lifestyle. Even the most traditional old southern sorority chapters expect a little more respect than that.
