Of course, we all know about girls who pledge at weaker chapters with the intent of transfering into extremely strong chapters where they woudl likely NOT receive a bid through rush. That complicates things a lot.
If I am understanding you correctly you are saying that no chapters vote on affiliations. Here is what I know. There are some NPC groups who do not vote on affiliations. The rationale: you are an initiated member and should not have to be voted on twice for membership. However, there are other NPC member groups who do require that a chapter vote on an affiliation petition.

Automatic affiliation without voting is not universal among all NPC groups.

As for girls transferring into "extremely strong chapters", that can backfire in all sorts of ways.
