I think the process in every Org is different... with Phi Sig... I believe it's just a phone call to national to make sure the sister left her old chapter in good standing and some paper work... there is no formal voting process or anything.. it's once a phi sig always a phi sig. Informally we do give them a nickname at initiation and get them a lion..(our chapter mascot) to make them feel welcome... We have 2 transfer sisters in my chapte(with another, who is on GC possibly on her way for spring '04) both are wonderful sisters that fit very well
