Hi Klynne. My daughter went from a private university to a state university for spring semester. The chapter sizes are fairly comparable, both chapters tend to bid friend groups and rush at both schools is a very similar experience.
My daughter inquired via email, stating that she was at the state school for one semester only. The chapter president responded quickly and was very welcoming. She offered my daughter the option to fully affiliate for spring and said there was also a spot available in the chapter house. The other option was to not affiliate but attend chapter meetings to learn about and be in touch with the chapter. My daughter chose to affiliate and live-in. I’m not sure if a decision went into allowing her to affiliate or if it was automatic. She may have been checked out via social media. Who knows? The new chapter made it really easy, not even needing a transcript. The only requirement was that my daughter provide an email from the president at her home chapter stating that she left as a member in good standing. She also had to officially disaffiliate from the home chapter for the semester.
Socially, it’s easier to transfer into a sorority at the beginning of the school year versus mid-year as my daughter did, so that’s a plus for you. At the state school, my daughter has her real-life sister living in the sorority house right next door, so that been beneficial. She’s returning to her private school in the fall but it’s neat that she’s now part of sorority life at 2 campuses. Good luck to you! Private message me if you need more information but really, just reach out to the chapter!
