So is it the school's pahel that can prevent transfers due to total regulations or can an org vote not to have a girl affiliate ? Because I'm *fairly* sure Phi Sig has a policy that states that if a girl transfers to a school that has a chapter she must join, or disaffiliate (you can not be granted alum status if your new school has a chapter) and the sisters must welcome her in the spirit of "once a phi sig, always a phi sig"
It seems rather harsh to me that your sisters from another chapter could vote not to affiliate you. I mean sure it's rather sneaky to pull a "rush-n-transfer"(that was cute KR) but... what happens to those girls who honestly just didn't end up having the best time at school or changed majors and needed a school with a better program? I would be devastated to know I coudln't participate if I transfered even though there was a chapter at my new school... I mean sure this rush-n-transfer thing is tacky and should be dealt with... but having to put a transfer sister to a vote seems kinda harsh to me... since one of the benefits of being in a national org is supposed to be having sisters everywhere and being welcome... I think of some girl is... umm gutsy enough to try and pull this loophole... if she did indeed transfer for the sole purpose of being an ABC.. that reputation is going to follow her around. no one will look at her the same. It's a shame that this even has to be brought up...we should be able to welcome transfer sisters without worrying abou their motives...
