New Chapter of a Sorority

If I transfer to a school that doesn't have my sorority, am I allowed to join a nearby chapter?
I.e If I transfer from NYU to USC and they don't have my sorority there, could I sill take part in UCLA's chapter of my sorority? Thanks!

No. But you could join the LA alumna chapter of the sorority in question.

No you cannot. You may only affiliate with the chapter at your school OR join the alumna chapter in the area (which is diff from being part of a collegiate chapter).

Swerving a bit, but I am aware of a few NALFO sororities (and fraternities, for that matter) that do allow members to affiliate with nearby chapters.

I guess it really depends on the organization/council/conference.

So I take it you're already an initiated member? Your previous posts indicated that you were preparing to rush.

If you're a member, why not ask your chapter's leadership? They'll be able to provide you with some assistance and direction.

I figured you were talking about an NPC. I just threw the information out there for reference.

I'm kind of getting that "I didn't get into my top choice so I'm going to transfer and find a better chapter of my sorority or maybe I'll just go through Recruitment again" feeling.

My house wasn't my top choice, but it's still good here. I wouldn't be able to do recruitment again if i already joined so no. The school will be going to doesn't have my chapter, so a nearby school(which is an Ivy League, so forget it) does. I also have friends who pledged chapters at different schools. I'm moving for another reason, not for greek life

And yes, I'm talking Panhellenic, the one with 26 chapters.

Weren't you unaffiliated 11 days ago?

ETA: NPC has 26 organizations, not chapters.

I am confused. You responded to Leslie Anne's question to the OP. Are you the OP with multiple account names?
