Well, in DG if you want to affiliate her, you don't really rush her. It is just a matter of paperwork.
With the transfer we recently got, she started school at USM last Spring. She wanted to be closer to home, plus her family was having a few money issues. At USM we have a special building for sorority girls. She was put in another upperclass girl dormitory, but once her affiliation papers went through and everything was approved by both her old chapter and our chapter, greek life contacted residence life and they let her move into our dorms to live on the DG floors. We also had an affilition ritual/ceremony for her. I mean she was already initiated into DG, so we just initiated her into our chapter.
I hope all sorority chapters who get transfers are as lucky enough to get girls like the one we got. In 3 weeks it was like she had been there for years. Everything was just such a smooth and natural transition for her. She went from a HUGE sec school with 200+ girls in a chapter, to our school which the sororities sit around half that. So, she is only an hour away from home now, she pays a lot less in tuition and dues, she immediatly got 95 new sisters and 95 new friends, and from what she tells us she couldn't be happier.
