I'm re-reading this and still thinking "...what?"
In my head, I'm giving Transfer Tracy the benefit of the doubt: she pledges a sorority because... well, it looks fun. Sisters for life! Yay!
Then life happens, unexpectedly, as usual, and realizes she needs to leave school. Or maybe she just doesn't like it there anymore. Her chapter gushes about being sisters for life, lifetime commitment, etc. But now that she's going to New University, that comes with a big ol asterisk?
Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Or maybe this isnt as huge as occurrence as I think it is. I just figure most 18 year olds aren't planning (or expected to plan) THAT far ahead in their sorority life (NPC, anyway) outside of remaining in good financial standing and adhering to the live-in rules if applicable.
So again, I cant imagine you all meet the "I'm gonna transfer to bigger-better-awesomer chapter next fall, let me pledge ABC now" girls more than the "damn, life happens, going to a different school, kthxbyelahveyall!" girls.
