[AlphaPhiBubbles]

The way it works for Tri Delta is there has to be a semester where the transfering girl is at your school, but not affilated yet with you chapter, she just hangs out and gets to know you and your chapter gets to know her. Then at the end of the semester we vote on whether or not ask her to affilate with out chapter.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that the voting part is really horrible?? Wouldn't you consider initiated tri delts all over the country your sister? Why in the world would you have to vote to let her affiliate?!? I can understand maybe if she had a grade problem or financial problem, but those things work themsleves out based on the rules that go for every member of the chapter. I'm an Alpha Phi that just transferred and affiliated with my new chapter, and I can't imagine them voting on me - I'd be heartbroken because they just accepted me with open arms...not to mention that I am older than most of the house anyway so I pull rank as far as being an Alpha Phi goes...I don't know that whole think really bothered me, sorry.

But anyway what I did was just contact the presidents and/or advisors of the chapters I applied to, and of course let my old chapter know what I was doing. I think I got really lucky though, because it turned out there was room in the chapter house, and the chapter is pretty large and stable, and I have held a few positions so they were really excited for me to join and add a different perspective on Alpha Phi.
