It's definitely true at big Southern schools. Not many transfers go through and there are people on Panhellenic recruitment committees whose jobs include checking the transcripts of all PNMs and whether transfers were Greek.
Not only that, but individual sororities check up on transfers too. They want to make sure they're not pledging, say, psychos or whatever and I personally know of some shocking things that some sororities uncovered about transfers (well, and on freshmen too). One sorority uncovered a pretty extensive police record on one girl who rushed 3 years ago--and that was at a smaller Southern school.
When I was rushing as a transfer, I remember one sorority member going on and on happily about a lot of minor activities I'd been in at my first school.
I had not even mentioned those activities on my application!
