Dropped my sorority...can I be resinstated @ my new school?

[reginaphalangee]

Just dropped my sorority an hour ago due to financial reasons. I’m super sad about it because I’ve really grown to love greek life, and our PC was getting initiated this coming Thursday. I’ve also made the decision to move back home next semester and finish out my freshman year at a cc, before transferring to a different university in Texas next school year, bc OOS tuition is killing me. Anways I was wondering, since all three schools that I’m looking into have an active Tri Delt chapter, would I have to go through recruitment again? I feel like it’s kind of a given considering I was not officially a member, but I also do know that it is extremely frowned upon and discouraged to join a different sorority once you’ve alreay been affliated with another. Plus, I’d really hate the possibility of having to join a different house. Obviously I have to contact Tri Delt headquarters and get the final verdict, but would it be a bad idea to contact the individual chapters myself and let them know? Obviously not now since I haven’t been admitted, but towards the end of the next semester. And if I do have to rush again next year, would it be bad to mention that to other chapters? Or just I just go in and hope to get another bid from Tri Delta?
