That would depend on your organization. Depending on your fraternity/sorority, affiliating with a new chapter may not be a sure thing.

There are some organizations whose chapters do not automatically accept transfers.

There are also some chapters (typically large ones) of some fraternties/sororities who do not take transfer affiliates at all because their chapter is one that has alot of people trying to transfer in and they don't have room (I remember hearing this about some chapters at UF).

We had a girl in our house try to transfer to UF and it didnt work for some reason, but she still transfered to UF.

Huh!? If it's an NPC, then it is at least a national sorority! Are you I. A small regional sorority? Why don't you check your group's bylaws?

You'd need to talk to your advisors about the EXACT procedures of your sorority and transferring.

Also, keep in mind that depending on which sorority you're in, affiliating with a new chapter may not be a guarantee. There are some sororities whose chapters do not automatically accept transfers.

If the chapter at your NEW school is a larger chapter with alot of girls trying to transfer in, keep in mind that they may not allow transfer affiliates because of their size. Example: I know that some chapters at schools like LSU and UF may not take transfers because there are too many girls trying to affiliate.

That might have passed as a legitimate response if it weren't for KSUViolet's signature color.

that is true. in addition, you may not want to affiliate with the chapter at your new school. you may want to wait and go thru recruitment at the new school.

Spam in the signature.

Plus, if you notice, her reply is a cut and paste from KSUViolet's, so she wasn't contributing anything. It made it seem like s/he was on topic.
