This isn't always true. I know that we don't have a vote to decide if a transfer student can affiliate with our chapter. We've had two women transfer into our chapter, and we never voted. If a woman is an initiated member in good standing, she is welcomed to our chapters.

I believe that all NPC groups require a chapter vote before someone can affiliate. This has been heavily discussed on GC but it has to do with some chapters not exactly being selective--okay, taking women who were literally psychos--and the women went to other campuses and were not welcomed with open arms. If you can find those threads and read the stories, you'll see why.
Another reason that automatic affiliation isn't allowed is that especially in the South, if a woman thinks she can't make the cut into the sorority she wants, she'll pledge it at a less selective school and then transfer to the bigger one. Sometimes a sorority will even suggest that to a prospective member. The thing is that most big Southern schools have limits on how many members they can have.
