I've done some searches about transfer and affiliation and I haven't been able to find the answers I'm looking for. I thought maybe some of y'all would be kind enough to help.
I am currently a sophomore initiated member of Kappa Delta at a small/medium sized school. I love my school and I love my sisters even more, but due to financial reasons I am forced to transfer next semester to another school where I can receive in-state tuition. Unfortunately, this means I will have to leave all my friends and sisters behind. This dissappointment was somewhat appeased when I realized there was a Kappa Delta chapter at the school I plan to transfer to. However, I was very recently dissapointed to hear that due to the popularity of this chapter on campus, others in the past have not been accepted for affiliation.
This is really discouraging for me to hear. While I think I'm pretty, nice, and very active in my chapter (Asst. Recruitment Chair). I'm worried that I am not on par with the girls of this chapter. Although KD is a strong chapter on my campus, recruitment at my school is not nearly as cutthroat as at this school. I'm so worried that aside from not knowing many people at this large school, my sisters will not accept me.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? What can I expect when I request to affiliate? I love being a part of my sorority and I know I will feel so hurt if I can't continue to be an active collegiate member of KD.
I'm also really worried that even if they let me affiliate, I still won't fit in. I'm not trying to discount myself, my chapter at my current school is pretty competetive and they chose me to become a sister. However, this school is a different league entirely. I know this is a terrible thing to worry my sisters won't want me, but I really am nervous about transferring to such an enormous school where I won't know anyone, and maybe won't even have my sisters.
Sorry for such a long post, but if anyone can give me some information or just encouragement, I would really appreciate it. I also don't want to reveal either school, as I haven't broken it to my sisters yet that I will be transferring.
Thanks for listening,
Lauren
