Something else to check out in regards to the fraternity you want to pledge this fall: when do they initiate their pledges? For some, pledgeship runs the entire fall semester and guys undergo initiation shortly after spring semester begins. For others, the pledge period is shorter and guys get initiated the same semester they pledge. Finding this out will help you to know what your actual status will be when you transfer.

If you're still a pledge when you transfer and the chapter accepts you, you might have join their spring class and go through the process again...just one possible scenario, but it will all depend on that chapter's policy for handling these cases.
