There's really nothing to tell. All transfers must file transfer paperwork and all chapters must vote to accept a transfer member into their chapter, just as they would vote to accept any member into their chapter. If the transfer isn't a good fit with the new chapter, they're not going to accept the transfer. It's really simple. She's still a sister. She just takes alumna status.
I don't think it is being unsisterly. Just because you got a bid at one chapter doesn't mean you'd get one at another school-- if that were the case, there would probably be a ton of crazies rushing at Backwater University to join a struggling chapter and transferring up to State U as a member-in-full to become part of the most prestigious chapter there.
I know we say on and on at GC that there aren't "Sorority Tiers." There aren't official ones, but campus hearsay keeps certain chapters top-of-mind in the university and among students at other schools. It would opening up a huge can of worms if we suddenly allowed opened up the floodgates... I can see several cases where someone might attend one school to pledge a sorority and then goes to transfer to another school just for its "better" chapter. IE: pledge one sorority at FSU and then transfer into its USF counterpart, or vice versa! That would be insane. ETA: and it defeats the whole purpose of collegiate Greek life as a means to augment the college experience. In this case, it becomes the defining purpose for being at college. And that is crazy.
