My chapter went through a situation with a transfer from another college. We receive notification from our HQ that we could allow her to affiliate with our chapter as long as we had a majority vote from all of our currently active sisters.
At the time my chapter was struggling to keep numbers, so we figured "why not, lets let her in." She was a sweet girl and very nice to everyone, but we didn't find out until too late that she owed her old chapter money. (They failed to report it to HQ I can only assume.) She then began to owe us money. Im not sure what happened after that, I graduated and havent kept very close contact with the current girls.
The school she was originally at was a much larger greek system. Phi Sig was a dominant force at her old school. On my campus, we weren't the big deal.
So sometimes I can understand why a chapter would be skeptical about accepting a transfer.
Another thing I saw happen. During my last year of school there was a girl going through Formal recruitment. She kept telling everyone she would only accept XYZ as a sorority. She would not accept a bid from another organization. Come to find out, she planned on transfering that January to a bigger school in our state, University of Florida, where recruitment is more competitive. She wanted a free way into the XYZ chapter there. Thankfully, the XYZ girls at my school did not want her in their org, so she ended up not joining anyone and was quite sour about the situation. Personally, I beleive it is wrong to rush at a smaller school just to transfer into a big popular chapter elsewhere.
