Rejected by My Sorority

[krose28]

I joined a sorority at my school as a freshman not knowing I was going to transfer. Making the decision to transfer was difficult but I ended up making it spring quarter of my freshman year. As soon as I made it into my current school, I reached out to my sorority. It took them months to respond to me and when they did they kept referring me to other people in the sorority, sending me in circles. The chapter advisor herself never responded to me until I contacted nationals and they emailed me. After being at school for 4 weeks and being in touch with the sorority for 3 months, I was finally able to meet one of the girls. She was director of COB and even admitted in the meeting that she was appointed to the position and didn't want it. She brought one of her friends from the chapter with her and didn't seem interested in getting to know me at all. Two weeks later the chapter voted on me, and the only information that they had was the opinion of the girl I met and a 350 word paper they had me write. Basically, I had to get a majority vote from 150 girls based on the opinion of only one person that had met me. I was rejected, and now because of NPC rules I can't join any other sorority.
I feel disrespected by the chapter at my school and feel that they gave me even less opportunity to introduce myself than PNMs get during recruitment even though I am a sister. My problem is that I don't feel that I should be held to the lifelong commitment if my sorority does not uphold their part of the bargain. They give the chapter the ability to decide on transfers because different chapters are different at other schools, but they do not give the girl the same ability. My sorority also said that I can resign and send back everything sorority related I have and then I will have no affiliation with them, but even then I cannot join another sorority.
