I didn't go to a competitive southern school, but from other rush threads I get the perception that if you're a transfer at a competitive school, they might ask you to rush again, or put you on 'probation', or not even ask you to affiliate. I think the "right of association" applies even on the local level. I'm not saying I agree with it though - cause if you're a SK, you should be a SK where ever you go.

Would other black women go through rush if they saw another black woman there? That's hard to know, and it depends on the individual. I know that when I was looking into Alum initiation, I checked out the magazines of the groups I was interested in and -- I hesitate to admit this -- I looked for folks who looked like me. When I saw "us" represented, it gave me a more favorable opinion of the group. It wasn't the deciding factor, but I definitely noticed.
