When I was in school in the 90s I had heard the rumor of girls joining XYZ at State U and transferring to Mega Large State U due to rush being terrifying at MLSU and affiliating. That's probably simplifying it though. I was the Rho Chi for one girl who rushed & joined at my school and transferred to UGA and affiliated, but I don't think it had anything to do with sororities, but she decided she didn't like going to school in downtown Atlanta (she was from a small Georgia town) and liked Athens better. Also, I've known people who thought they wanted a smaller college and realized they would rather have a larger campus experience and transfer. Or sometimes, the person didn't have the grades to get in one school, got their grades up and transferred but joined a sorority that also had a chapter where they eventually wanted to go. There are lots of reasons.
